A week from Sunday, ESPN will bring baseball fans back to 1998 with the premiere (8 p.m. CT) of "Long Gone Summer," a documentary detailing Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire's 1998 home run race.
Sosa and McGwire duked it out that summer in a battle to break Roger Maris' all-time record for home runs in a single season (61). McGwire ultimately set the record (70) with Sosa (66) not far behind, and the two are credited with reviving fan interest in baseball lost following the 1994 MLB strike.
ESPN released the trailer for the documentary on Friday, featuring snippets of their interviews with McGwire, Sosa and sportscaster Bob Costas.
