We all like to consider different scenarios, so, with that said, imagine the Chicago Cubs current core with one former player. Older generations might consider Ernie Banks, Billy Williams or Ron Santo. Some may consider Ryne Sandberg or Andre Dawson. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see the primes of those respective careers.
One could argue, on the other hand, Sosa saved the game of baseball in the late 90s given the strike of 1994. I gained a love for baseball growing up during the Sammy Sosa-Mark McGwire home run race in 1998.
