CHICAGO, IL - AUGUST 18: This 18 August 1998 file photo shows St. Louis Cardinals player Mark McGwire (R) hugging Chicago Cubs player Sammy Sosa before their game at Wrigley Field in Chicago, IL. Currently McGwire has 59 homeruns and Sosa 56, giving both players a chance to break the single season record of 61 set in 1961 by New York Yankees player Roger Maris. Despite the competition between them to be the first to break the record, they are close friends. (Photo credit should read FILE/AFP via Getty Images)
