GettnHuge 1 Posted June 17, 2009 now that he's going to get the media attn he's been after it's back to no speaka english this is what I was talkin about Sammy Sosa Retires, Talks Hall of Fame Posted Jun 04, 2009 9:40AM Once one of the most beloved sports figures in Chicago, Sammy Sosa, will quietly announce his official retirement from baseball sometime in the near future. He was de facto retired anyway, having not played since 2007 and seeing minimal major league interest in his current services. This move simply means he'll quit trying to find work. "I assure you that I will not answer nor listen to rumors," he (said). "If anything ugly comes up in the future, we will confront it immediately, but with all our strength because I will not allow anybody to tarnish what I did in the field." As for his next goal. Well, he'll be waiting "calmly." "Everything I achieved, I did it thanks to my perseverance, which is why I never had any long, difficult moments [as a baseball player]. If you have a bad day in baseball, and start thinking about it, you will have ten more," Sosa told the site. "I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don't I have the numbers to be inducted?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a ZERO chance of getting in. Zero. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has a ZERO chance of getting in. Zero. I agree with you, and IMO the corked bat pushes him over the edge to unelectable. But he is so wubbable... it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Korben Dallas 0 Posted June 17, 2009 I agree with you, and IMO the corked bat pushes him over the edge to unelectable. But he is so wubbable... it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I think eventually they'll all get in. Sosa, Mac, Clemens... It won't be right away, but the drama will wear off and they'll have to elect someone. Otherwise there's going to be about 6-10 years where they'll be no f'in candidates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MedStudent 56 Posted June 17, 2009 Sosa may have been the most obvious steroid user ever. The guy got huge overnight. Unlike Bonds and Clemens, I don't think Sosa would have been hall of fame material without the steroids. He was just a pretty good player before he got huge.

kilroy69 994 Posted June 17, 2009 Am I surprised? Not in the slightest. He is a cheater plain and simple. He GOT caught using a corked bat. You dont get caught the first time. He claimed mistake. I agree it was a mistake........that the bat broke. He took roids and he is probably really closer to 50 years old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
