This weekend, baseball fans will get to relive the great 1998 home run chase, when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa matched each other dinger for dinger while trying to topple Roger Maris’ famous single-season home run record. ESPN is turning its documentary lens on McGwire and Sosa for “Long Gone Summer,” a 30-for-30 that promises candid conversations with Sosa and McGwire, both of whom remain pretty quiet to this day about the summer of 1998.
As baseball gets its “Last Dance” moment, it turns out there are two guys from the Sosa story that have been holding onto a beef almost as long as Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan.
