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.
Coming back from the All-Star Break, Sosa hit the ground running in the second half of the 1998 MLB season.
Sosa's 34th homer came off Milwaukee's Jeff Jurden, a 2-run shot in the 2nd inning that traveled an estimated 432 feet.
The Cubs ended up blowing the game, losing 12-9 in Milwaukee.
