I was at this game! I was 10 years old, and still remember it like it was yesterday.
Enserio que emoción yo lo veía x televisión en Venezuela
Man baseball was 1000 times better back then. Better players, way better personalities with way more swag, and most of all better rules.
I was at this game on the 3rd base side.
lol
Slammin’ Sammy Sosa 👊
Peak MLB.
I was there on Waveland Ave when he hit both. Hung out with my pal at Murphy’s Bleachers watching on WGN. When he was due up, everyone emptied out onto Waveland for a chance to catch history.
What a time to be in Chicago.
Ooohhh Sammy sosa
Todavía se me pone la piel de gallina uuuuuuuuuf cuántos bellos recuerdos Dios mío sammy sosa nuestro dominicano querido por siempre...
Mi respeto mi cariño y admiracion para este gran hombre que siempre puso en alto nuestra bandera y ni hablar en paises donde nisiquiera se jugaba pelota y conocieron nuestro pais por medio de sammy sosa sin embargo muchos ingratos hoy dia solo lo critican por que el vive una vida lujosa como el se lo merece por que todo lo que se gano y sigue ganando se debe a Dios y a su gran dedicacion y sacrificios
7:42 that ball was murdered- Chip Carray
And all those people running to get the ball on Waveland…
Was this the game Grace walked it off with Sosa on deck?
Yep, this is the one. One of the most exciting games in Cubs history.
Sammy sosa
El orgullo no me cabe en el pecho barrio México en la casa
Aún asi chicago es un equipo malo agradecido con samy sosa un hombre que levantó la moral del béisbol junto a mack wire
This is why it was so irritating when the cubs announcers were bitching about Acuna's 70th steal celebration. Their cubs did the exact same thing with This. The morons forever ruined the clip of him holding the base talking over a historic movement. They are hypocrites.
You're really trying to compare stealing 70 bases to hitting 62 homeruns?? You must be young if you don't realize how big of a moment this was, not just for Cubs fans, but for baseball. Baseball lost a lot of fans during the '94 strike. Sammy and Mac brought everyone back and more. I'm not trying to discredit Acuña for making 40/70. It's beyond impressive, but the homerun chase in the summer of '98 was iconic.
A joke as a player, a joke to the game of baseball.
You’re a joke as a human you jew
latino de envioso ahahaha
Yeah, boy, the fans sure hated it
Your wife is joke
I remember that summer. Just before Allstars break Cubs sweep a 3 4 game series. Then go into weekend series against Cards 2 back. Friday they were flat after emotional games. Lost then Saturday cards go up 2-0. Cubs have men on 1st and 2nd. 1 out Sosa has 2-0 count hits into double play. Down 4 in 4th? Same thing vases loaded 1 out. Hits into DP. Down 7 8-0 in 6th? He hits solo shot and gets standing ovation. Down 11-1 in 8th? Yes hits solo shot and takes curtain call. This guy got HOF Billy Williams fired as Cubs hitting coach. Watch him play center that year. Clueless. Only reason he hit them was riggleman batting him 3rd and putting grace in cleanup spot. They would pitch around grace with men on to get to that overrated wuss.
