As you probably know ***Sammy Sosa*** is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the first time this year. Sammy was a great player but how can he receive credit after what he did? I think it is a given that most Cubs fans liked Sammy during most of his time here in Chicago. He could hit the ball well and wasn't a God awful fielder. Sammy helped the Cubs have some good seasons, but obviously not good enough ones. Sammy hit 609 home runs during the span of his career putting him eighth on the list. That is pretty impressive when you look at who he passed up. We're talking Mantle and Mr. October. Anybody else would have a guaranteed place in Cooperstown, but Sosa on the other hand not the case. I am not sure that I want his name in the hall with the absolute best players in the history of the game. Being in the hall is a prestigious achievement, so really people, let's not turn it into a joke. Oh and yeah how could we ever forget? He did get caught using a corked bat. If I had the opportunity to cast my vote, it would be a no go for *Sosa.
