I will never get the Sammy hatred by some Cubs fans. He was pretty much the only reason to watch the Cubs for several years. He was the most exciting player I've ever seen.

You could say he also turned around this franchise. Before Sammy came the ownership was never really concerned with fielding a winner. How many years did we sit through the lovable loser bullshit in the 80's and early 90's? He used steroids. Everyone did. So what. He was still dominant. Was he also an asshole? Yeah, but an asshole who hit 60 homers three times.
