You are never going to see again what big mac and sammy did for the game. They brought the baseball back to life.
THANK YOU
Agree, just like Magic and Bird with the NBA.
Exactly bro but those fans in Chicago are the most ungrateful people ever
They were both on dope. Stop it
Ye and they also use roids
All the people that whine and complain about steroids know damn well that this is and always will be the most entertaining baseball era of all time. You know you weren't sitting around complaining while you were watching it and crying that they were cheaters you were jumping up and down watching history and watching the most amazing feat in baseball. Just because you got duped you want to act like you weren't enjoying it? Who gives a shit lol they made a fool out of everyone who cares. they gave us the best baseball we have ever seen in our entire lives and it has never been even half this good since. Say what you want but if this is what it takes to make baseball this amazing, I say bring it back and thank you steroids for giving us the best baseball we will ever see in our entire lives
Its funny my best bud at the time was a Red birds fan and I was a huge Cubs fan. 98 was and always will be unforgettable whether you watched with your best friends or otherwise ;) Thanks to bothguys for creating magic in baseball that might have been equalledbefore in some ways, but it will be a tall order to see anything this special again.
Sammy, one of the only players that took curtain calls at guest stadiums and was welcomed to do so
The 1998 mlb season was forever magical
Agreed but hb the 1997 when the FLORIDA MARLINS WRE CHAMPIONS!!!
@@TheRealpennyInfo Baloney
I remember watching the games with my grandfather who was a big cubs fan but he was blind. I would always come home from school and the games would be on and he would tell me Sammy hit another homer that day..this season will always hold a special place in my heart regardless of if they used or not. It was amazing to watch and I spent quality time with my grandfather every day ❤
I always enjoyed Chip Carray's "Swung on, belted... Deep toward left! Back... at the track... at the wall... it's gone!!!!!!!"
My fav
Good times. His dad on tbs for braves games was good too
Sucks we got len Kasper after having chip caray. Glad len is gone
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo I looking nominations McKinnon no kkkkkkkkkkkkkokkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk p ko
It's gone! And it doesn't count cause he cheated!
Thank you Sammy for making my childhood unmemorable you inspired me same way Michael Jordan did. Best childhood ever.
Are you dyslexic ?
@x_Cortez, did you mean "unforgettable?"
@@gbertolozzi6629 yes thank you lol
Great video and all the stats on each homer in description. Sosa definitely deserves to be in the hall
Sosa's Stance Changed In 1998 And Sammy Decided Why Not Have Some Fun While He's At It
As I look back at baseball over the years nothing will ever compare to what Mark and Sammy did for the game. They made baseball fun again! I am not taking anything away from the Cubs WS because that was epic. But just the game itself and what they brought to it was fun. Now let's fast forward to 2022 and we are in a lockout once again and baseball is just not what it used to be with players just wanting more and more money but forgetting to have fun and play for the fans. Sammy and Mark where are you when we need you.. Go Cubs Go!
I love watching all Sammy Sosa's 66 home runs since 1998 on CZcams.
1998 was the best year in baseball hands down. Juice or not, it was exciting as hell. MLB has been in the tank ever since.
Juice ruined this exciting year of 1998.
I think Baseball still held strong through the early 2000s, but yeah by 2005/2006 it was clearly reverting back to what it was pre-1990s.
A record 20 home runs in June 1998.
2 RAW 4 TV goat mike what u doin on here??? Goin down memory lane like me huh 😆
@@RaiEDT Yessir!!
22 years ago, feels like yesterday.
Sammy's 1998 MVP season is top 5 in the sport!
2001 was even better. But there was Bonds...
Sammy belongs in the Hall of Fame
Nope, he cheated.
1998 Sammy Sosa on WGN. Hall of Famer in my eyes.
I really enjoyed this time growing up being 9 or 10 during this period. It definitely made me a baseball fan during the home run chase!
Big Mac and Sammy took us on an unforgettable ride. Curtain calls at visitor stadiums, standing and cheering. It was really great.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING, I WAS THERE WHEN HE TIED THE RECORD ON 9-2-98 WITH 56 HOMERS PERVIOUSLY HELD BY WILSON, I SAT BEHIND 3RD BASE AND WAS AWSOME SEEING THIS AGAIN! THANK YOU
Baseball is the sport where whatever era is ur childhood is always ur favorite. Has all the players u looked up to and just felt different. I can’t say the same for any other sport
1998 what a year to be alive
we want samy sosa to the hall of fame
McGuire too
Bonds too
No we don't...
@@rushmore120 yes we do
It's not a hall of fame w out the greatest players of all time and the 2 other great sluggers who brought baseball back in 98
Thank you for uploading this video🙏🏼💯
Thanks for watching
I was 10 at the time and it this was just magical. I would always come inside from playing to turn on WGN and watch. Sammy was must see TV at the time, frankly Kerry Wood was too. 1998 was a wonderful year for baseball.
Yes. Same. Miss those days. Now THATS when Cubs baseball was Cubs baseball. And on WGN!
The best era of MLB
Even as a White Sox fan, I appreciate what Sammy Sosa did for the game of baseball!
He and McGuire cheated, screw them. How bout the ones that didn't cheat? Jim Thome, Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko?
The 1998 Home Run Chase was amazing . The only time I've seen where the pitcher gets booed by his own fans for not pitching a hittable ball to the oppossing player .
Great video! Well done
El mejor pelotero de la República Dominicana libra por libra, Sammy Sosa.
Orgullo Dominicano 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 !!
Are you dyslexic ?
That was meant for Cortez
Sammy annihilated Brewers pitchers in 1998
I love mark mcgwire and Sammy Sosa and Bonds these are memories for us 90s baby what a world it was eyes on the ball goes to the fans as well best era in baseball period
The best video thanks
I was there at the Astrodome,it was the last game of the regular season,when Sammy hit number 66 to Jose lima
Great Footage Dude
As a Dominican, I feel so proud. Let's go Sammy!
David Paredes you also proud of his steroid usage?
Sammy's a white man now.
@@rorogonzo7867 could you hit 66 home runs even using steroids?
@@greysonG10 Race does really matter to you?
David Paredes that is a stupid question. I’ll ask you a stupid question back at you. Can you deadlift 1000lbs on steroids?
Fun fact: Sammy Sosa is the only player in Major League history to have three 60-home run seasons... he didn't lead the league in any of them.
It was a pleasure watching you entertain, adjust, and improve as a Hitter and Home Run Hitter. I grew up as a Cubs fan still to this day. Awesome highlights Sammy! Mucho Palo!
Idk what’s more impressive? The fact that Sammy and Mac did this, or the fact the pitchers were so stupid to continue to pitch to these guys 🤣
There was talk at the time that a lot of pitchers, esp younger ones, were not only insisting to pitch to them, but they were throwing them meatballs right down the middle that they could hit out so they could say that they gave up a homer to these guys. There was friction on some opposing teams due to this.
Even the umpires were juicing in 98
Exactly and they just wanted to blame, samy and mark
Juice up and let me see you do it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sammy se merece Cooperstown 💪🏻💪🏻
This will never fucking get old...never.
Sammy was the man , he made baseball awesome and with Cubs in the hunt for the postseason it was an awesome time for baseball.
Im in the few that believe sammy did this without steroids.
I remember Sammy taking off that June by setting the single month HR record. Dude hit 20 in 27 games during June! The Brewers and Phillies hated seeing him. He hit 12 vs the Brewers and 8 against Philly that year.
Everyone was teeing off on the Brewers back then.
1998 the best Major League Baseball season ever
Thing Sammy doesn't get credit for is being an all fields hitter. Great opposite field hitter.
Sammy Sosa Channel - us true blue Cubbies fans can't thank you enough ❤️ Slammin Sammy was our horse!
Sosa's '98 numbers were mind-boggling for a slugger:
.308 AVG
.377 OBP
.647 SLG
1.024 OPS
198 Hits
134 Runs
158 RBI
Bonds-esque numbers before he broke the game in 2001-2004.
His 2001 numbers were even better.
.328 AVG, 64 HR, 160 RBI, 146 Runs, .437 OBP, 1.174 OPS, 203 OPS+, 116 Walks, 37 Intentional Walks, 189 Hits, 425 Total Bases, 103 Extra Base Hits, .737 SLG
He would have won a 2nd MVP if it wasn't for Bonds. Also in 1998 he stole 18 bases as well.
Cute. Pujols put up numbers clean that look just as good if not better. Imagine if he actually used. He’d have broken the single season record 🤷🏻♂️ and bonds stole 4 mvps from pujols
@@ryanrampage8266 Ahh, Cardinals fans...shitting in places they don't even belong. Albert wasn't even in the league until 2001. Sit the fuck down.
@@ryanrampage8266 “clean” sure bro 😂
@@ryanrampage8266 100% pujols used same stuff mcqwire used. Who do u think was his role model ?
#44 is sitting across from me! My mom caught it sitting to my left at my first Cubs game. Was one of the most exciting days of my childhood!
At St. Louis? I remember that game being back and forth. We lost 9-8…
Imagine if this race between Sosa and McGwire would have been going on this year in 2020. TV networks and streaming services all around the world would have been hooked in and showing the live games of those two playing. People on the other side of the world where it's night time when it's day time in America, would have been getting up in the middle of the night just to see the live games of these guys. Those two guys would have been the number one trenders on the internet. The internet was around then in 1998. But with way less computer owners.
People around the world DID do that back then. They've had cable / satellite TV around the world for a while now man. Since 1967. lol
Favorite player of all time! Go Cubs!
Everytime this dude got up to hit. I was telling my mom and dad to shut up cuz i couldnt listen to tv or radio as a 7 yr old 😂😂. Go Sammy you made me fall in love with this game for ever 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴
Best Era of baseball
Sammy Slamming Sosa and McWirre brought baseball to the Golden ages.
Baseball was dead and this 2 wowww it was mesmerizing watching them
The Cubs shouldn't had never let him go smhhh. They should brought him back to finish his career there
29,54,61 and 62 good lord
And 66🤯
1998 was a season for the ages.
I miss steroid-ball
His batting stance changed from beginning to end of the season and got a little bigger in the process
Sammy is like Michael Jordan of Baseball.
Un pelotero de los mejores de grande Liga dominicano puro.
I agree Sammy Sosa got to go to Hall of Fame earn it thank you for your good work Sammy Sosa
We just proud of sammy 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 from being a shoe shine boy to the big show!
One of the best players ever, I don't care he did steroids, lots of players did and if it works wasnt for this guy's, baseball would continue it's decline. Sammy n mcwiguire brought lots of people back to the sport and made it so entertaining
Reminded of all the dogshit ballparks still around in '98; old tiger stadium, cinergy field, milwaukee county stadium, marlins field, kingdome, astrodome, metrodome, candlestick, three rivers.
As much people point out his power numbers, it's his overall approach that made the difference. He had a right center field approach he started going with.
What's not shown is how much he was willing to hit the ball to right field to pick up rbis besides homers. Sammy took the Cubs from loser's to playoffs. Let's not forget st Louis and McGwire got the record but sammy and the cubs made the playoffs.
Steroids if anything would make you pull happy. Steroids dont explain the hitting well over 300 along with these power numbers.
exactly. mcgwire didn’t even hit .300 in 1998. sammy hit .328, and even though he didn’t lead in HR’s, he led the league in RBI’s and runs scored.
Exactly... For all the people saying, ohhhh its cause of steroids... I say... Well... Ken Caminiti and Curt Schilling were on roids supposedly too, why weren't they hitting 60 HRs and leading the league in RBI's if all it takes is steroids??? Any one can do it on roids right?? Go and do it then?? LOL They need to stop the hate and let all of those players they've been black balling for over a decade now, into the hall. It's just pure hatred at this point. Stupid lame ass fck face, little boys club, that writer's association. Couldn't throw a baseball from second base to first on a line to save their lives. lol
Its sad he doesn't look like a black man anymore.
Sencillamente Espectacular, Samuel Sosa, una gloria de Domincan Republic.
God damn I loved that this was my childhood
It's great to see the stadium going from empty to full again #mangupower #republicadominicana
It wasn't steroids that got all those homeruns, there was a standing order by MLB pitchers to let them hit those homeruns. It made the MLB a fortune.
He honestly has one of the most technical and smooth swings of all time. Get low, dig deep…pause 🤣😂
Los últimos cuatro jonrones 63, 64, 65 y 66 fueron cómo visitante o sea jugando en el play del contrario e igual fue la ovación de los gringos, se los hecho en un bolsillo, el show era Sammy, iban a verlo a el, increíble, Dominican Republic.
Como sammy solo sammy el bambino del caribe
bonds got walked but they pitched to sammy
Sammy struck out 171 times in 1998 walked 74 while Bonds walked 177 times in 2001 & struck out 93
I’m still enjoying it
Don’t care about the negativity that comes with Sammy, just know he made me happy as a kid! He’s who I PC collect, have balls, bats and card signed!
Chick's dig the long ball!
Gracias por volverme a ilucionar #21
Sosa and McGwire took mlb off life support they save baseball i can't remember a better year for baseball than 98! Its was once again America's favorite past time. #HOFFORSOSA&MCGWIRE.
Notice there is no commentary for the 44th home run... Must have been the error that was made in the description...it was saying against the Astros when clearly that wasn't the Astros and which he hit that home run against
I wish you would've shown his hop out of the box.
Would be much cooler without the shit background music in every one of these clips.
You will see more and more people on road games as the season advance
NO VEO UNA RAZÓN POR LA CUAL SAMY NO ESTE EN EL SALÓN DE LA FAMA, PORQUE UNA PERSONA CON TANTO MÉRITO A SU FAVOR SE MERECE MAS QUE ESO ,ENTONCES QUE SE LE PERMITA A LOS FANÁTICOS VOTAR Y VERÁN QUE MILLONES DE FANÁTICOS DE TODO EL MUNDO LO LLEVARÍAMOS AL SALÓN DE LA FAMA, POR TANTO MOMENTO EXTRAORDINARIO Y FELICES QUE VIVIMOS LOS FANÁTICOS DEL BÉISBOL.
Oh dang. Was that a young rookie Ryan Dempster on the Marlins?
It sure is
Sosa was awesome. Miss him
I was there at wrigley for HR# 49 also caught a Bill Mueller foul ball that day great day
Congratultions Sammy sosa great player forever cooperstom
A like to hear a defeated “you can put it on the board”
❤wow 😳
All of it on FOX SPORTS NET Chicago ,WGN TV Channel 9, FOX 32 Chicago, ESPN, CLTV. Sammy Home Runs.
Icon sosa legend
He hit number 35 on my first birthday. I went to a game at miller park in ‘02. Don’t remember when, but Kerry wood pitched. Don’t remember a second of the game though. So I don’t remember if Sammy played? Just a little fact I thought was cool.
Without a doubt, the best battle of the majors, a battle that rescued Baseball, Sammy filled the Cubs and the Chicago City with glory ... and look how they pay him ... indifference, No respect, they are a very bad franchise ... What Sosa did was colossal! and deserves respect and a place in the hall of fame.
The best player at these time
So Sosa was ahead of Mac 66-65
What a choke job
LOL we all know it was written for mcgwire to win it
@@theuniversejr Baloney
Technically. But Sosa never led the home run race at the end of play all season long. They were either tied or Big Mac led him by the end of the day all season
4 homers in thelast two weeks is def a choke job
@@outsiderdf Who cares, they're both cheaters. The records are negated and void

1998 el beisbol, estaba viviendo un nuevo resulgir se comvirtio en la censacion del del momento recuerdo que solo se hablava de sosa. Mcgwire, era algo solprendente dos pelotero romper un recor que permanecio por decada, y ambos lo soprepasaron sin dificurta establexiendo nuevo recor de home rum, gracias a ellos muchas gracias
Aran hom ron enorme
3 times 60 or more HRs seasons!
Yeah, and didn't lead the league
@@joeambrose3260 well Joe Ambrose you can make a deal with God, touch the Jesus's pants, drink some wine from the holy supper but you won't see that again not even making a clone from DiMagio,Ted Williams,Lou Gehring NEVER AGAIN ahh by the way I'm glad it was a black man to do it
I was there for the #63 slam
