Summer of Sammy: Sosa's 22nd, 23rd + 24th homers in 1998

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.

Oh here we go.

Sosa not only hit 3 homers against the Milwuakee Brewers on June 15, 1998, but he actually victimized the same pitcher all 3 times. Poor Cal Eldred.

That's 1,245 feet of dingers over the span of 3 at-bats.
