Sammy Sosa Makes, Mars History

Sammy Sosa has officially joined the 600 home run club with a blast against Cubs' pitcher Jason Marquis.

Sosa is a slippery character that I've never cared much for, a fact that has been documented elsewhere on this blog. While it's hard to overstate the significance of reaching this milestone, my prediction is that, when it's all said and done, Sosa's legacy will be one of a cheater.

I don't think that anyone really likes Sosa.

It is more fuel for a post I am planning on writing about how career records are worthless in determining a player's value.

I am focusing more on wins for pitchers though. I don't understand why a pitcher has to stick around for 20 years to make the Hall of Fame. Or why Curt Schilling slogging it out for two more years to rack up more wins suddenly makes him a hall of famer

If I never have to see that stupid homerun hop again from Captain Cork, I will be a happy man.
