It's the 20th anniversary of the Summer of Sammy, when Sosa and Mark McGwire went toe-to-toe in one of the most exciting seasons in American sports history chasing after Roger Maris' home run record. All year, we're going to go homer-by-homer on Sosa's 66 longballs, with highlights and info about each. Enjoy.
June 1, 1998 represented Sosa's third multi-homer game in a week, as he went yard off former Cub Ryan Dempster and Marlins reliever Oscar Henriquez.
Those bombs kicked off a historic month in which Sosa clubbed 20 homers in 27 games.
The Cubs won this game 10-2 behind Sosa's 5 RBI.
