Congratulations to Sammy Sosa, who hit career homerun number 600 tonight against his former team, the Chicago Cubs. Sammy joins Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays as the only players in Major League Baseball History to hit 600 or more career homeruns. Sosa homered on an 1-2 count against Jason Marquis.
This homerun by Sammy was, by and by, Poetic Justice. Sammy hits number 600 against his former team, the Cubs. Sammy homered off of Jason Marquis, who is wearing Sammy's nummber, 21. The game was broadcast on WGN so all of Chicago could watch Slammin' Sammy hit number 600. Tommorow is the eighteenth aniversary of Sammy's First Career Homerun. There are just so many things about that homerun that it was Poetic Justice.
As a Cubs fan and a guy who watched Sammy Sosa play at Wrigley Field on August 14,2002, I say: Bravo Sammy! You did It! Six Hundred! Sammy! Sammy! Sammy!
