Sosa likely gone for good
And thank God, too. What a phony. What a phony, pathetic sport baseball is. Like many of us in the forum, I'm sure, I grew up on baseball. Played it my entire childhood and loved every minute of it. When I was a kid collecting baseball cards and watching TWIB, I could recite pretty much any stat you wanted to hear. Jayson Stark's Sunday Baseball page in the Inquirer was a must-read.
Now, thanks to steriods, just about every record that ever meant something in the sport (and yes, baseball records were the most revered and most hallowed of all) is a waste. Sosa, McGwire, Bonds and all those other bastards -- good riddance. Baseball will never be the same, thanks to their crap. Ever.
