Sammy Sosa mashed for the Cubs. Check out some of the best of his highlights in Chicago

As a huge Cubs fan, I really wish that the Ricket's family would just accept Sammy back to Cubs baseball. This guy was my hero when I was a kid, made me love baseball, and love the Cubs.

that homerun hop out of the box is the most iconic move in baseball.

My idol growing up in the Dominican Republic. I remember watching WGN in the afternoon, always hoping Sammy would get another at bat. The streets will never forget.

My favorite player of all time! Sammy LOVED his fans. I’m sick of all these people calling him a cheater and blah blah blah but he’s never tested positive and they forgive every singe player but why not Sammy? Sammy and mark SAVED baseball. Baseball was a dying sport but the home run chase brought so many fans and eyes to the sport

This man is from my country Republica Dominicana. He has given us so much to be proud of.

The most exciting and charismatic player I've seen!!

How is Sammy not part of some organization? He definitely made me fall in love with baseball and the Cubs.

Best season ever…..I still get chills 20 years later watching these memories….I taught my girls the Sammy hop…never will be another Sammy…..

I just wish Sammy's career would have made him young enough to play on the 2016 Cubs Championship team. It would have been the cherry on top of a fantastic year for Cub fans. I miss you Sammy ❤❤

His energy was amazing! That one hop out of the box after he hit them will always be iconic!

Sammy is the man! He will always be the man! His passion for the game was unmatched! The way he would sprint onto the field every game is my favorite pre game ritual of any player. Sammy put the Cubs on his back for years and made me grow into liking the Cubs all by himself. Still a die hard Sox fan though.

I Love Sammy Sosa !!!! Thank you for the memories !!!!

Good to hear Harry Carey voice in beginning. As a Cubs fan he was just fun to watch. He loved the game and made it exciting. He could hit some bombs. Great video

MLB used and showcased Sosa to the fullest extent in 1998. Absolute hypocrisy. Shame on MLB.

I don't care if he cheated. He made baseball fun. Exciting times

[SlickRick]

My favorite player growing up! Watching the games on wgn on the west coast, great time in baseball

[joeryan]

Mark of a great hitter: He could hit home runs to any part of any ballpark.

[Maal]

Him and Kerry Wood made me a Cubs fan in 1998. I was only 8 going on 9 that year. Just a special year of sports in my heart. I’ll never forget, and I will always cherish it. Never knew I’d like baseball cuz I was an NBA guy only. Sosa saved baseball. What a historical year.

Forever a Cub!!! Chicago loves you, Sammy!

Watching this now, everything about him is charismatic and iconic - the sweet swing, the hop, the little shuffles in his HR trot, the peace sign to the camera. There are a lot of great players from the DR but Sosa has to be the coolest one.
