People forget that Sammy Sosa saved baseball 21 years ago which is funny to think about now because he used steroids, home runs and showing up the other pitcher to do it.
Think about it – Sammy had a pre-determined REHEARSED reaction to hitting home runs. I mean be more obnoxious
You can’t and yet here we are 20 years later still arguing over whether someone can celebrate a big moment in real time. It’s insane to me. When Sammy saved baseball that should have prompted an immediate revision to all the unwritten rules. The world didn’t fall back in love with baseball in 98 because the players respected each other and the game and played hard. The revolution happened because Sammy made it appointment television and for that reason he will always get my beef.
