Sosa has eye on comeback
Sammy Sosa, 12 home runs shy of 600, said he wants to return to the big leagues in 2007 after taking a year off and contemplating retirement.
"I feel good physically, and after a year of resting we are optimistic about making a decision soon about returning to baseball," the Dominican slugger told The Associated Press yesterday. The 37-year-old slugger did not play in 2006 after rejecting a nonguaranteed offer of $500,000 from the Washington Nationals. But the outfielder said he is motivated to return. |

I would assume he would be playing in the American league.
He is useless now that Steroids are illegal ![]() But atleast he has a corked bat to use. Never liked the guy. |

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Me being a Cardinal fan has never liked him. But steroids or not him and McGwire put baseball back on the map after the strike!

If MLB was so against it, steroids would have been illegal at the time. The way I look at it, MLB reaped more benefit from the juice than Sosa or McGwire, and then placed the onus of blame on the athletes despite taking the increase in revenue from people watching the chase for 61. Baseball would still be dead if it wasn't for that.
