When Sammy Sosa spoke to veteran Chicago sportscaster Lou Canellis at a signing in Windy City on Friday, he was expecting some softball questions. Rather, the slugger of the former Cubs was promptly reminded of the steroid controversy that resulted in his expulsion in Chicago. 'You recognize the fact that maybe you did do steroids?' Canellis, a Fox 32, asked a visibly shocked Sosa. This is... not a question that I aspired from you,' the 55-year-old Sosa said, like I said. Sosa, the Cubs' all-time record holder with 545 home runs, is also on the loser's on the North Side. Slammin' Sammy was suspended by the Cubs and moved to Baltimore after he turned up late for the 2004 finale at Wrigley and was recalled early. In addition,, he and other suspected steroids cheats such as Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire were refused admission to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writer's Association of America for ten years, leaving them with no way to be honoured in Cooperstown moving forward.

Josie Canseco (left), who debunkled a series of Instagram messages, denied that she is a nepotism baby despite her father Jose (inset and together right) earning more than $45 million during his decorated baseball career. After Jose declared bankruptcy in 2012, Josie, a well-known Victoria's Secret model who was named the cover girl of Modeliste Magazine in July, said she was in debt for years and had to work to reclaim her family name. The former outfielder and designated hitter's fortune then plummeted when he published his tell-all book Juiced: The Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, How Baseball Got Big, which chronicled widespread steroids use among some of the best baseball players of the time, including Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. Jose has since purchased a $1.1 million house in Las Vegas, where he owns a car wash.

Russo and Smith debating whether Judge was the best home run hitter of all time given the links Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Mark McGwire — all ahead of Judge all-time — must use steroids.

You don't want to be a part of the record books every single day. You may have been caught on a few websites for reasons due to something you did not do. At other times, you're in possession of the record books because you encouraged someone else to write their name. Take Mike Bacsik for example. Who is Mike Bacsik you may ask? Well, he was the pitcher on the Washington Nationals, who gave up a record-breaking 756th home run to Barry Bonds. After facing Aaron Judge on the verge of tying a record-tying 61st home run on Wednesday night in the Bronx, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Eric Stout was determined not to be another Mike Bacsik.

Fans of Aaron Judge's historic 60th home run have screamed at a hectic moment for the Yankees

After a tumultuous baseball scramble, Mike Kessler, a 20-year-old college student, met with Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees in his 60th homer on Tuesday night. Judge's ninth-inning longball not only put him one home run behind Roger Maris' Yankees and American League records, but also helped New York beat the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8. Giancarlo Stanton, a teammate, won the game after a walk-off grand slam later in the game. However, it was Kessler who came away with a sense of victory as much as Judge did on Tuesday night and during his historic 2022 campaign. 'It bounced off someone's hand,' Kessler told The New York Post. 'I reached and grabbed it and then bear-hugged it.' I just smothered it. It got off to a rocky start. It was a huge pile.'
