In the grand scheme of things, who really gives a fuck? Sosa was totally vilified by the Tribune -- and it was completely planned. And Cubs fans, much to my dismay, bought the entire thing hook, line, and sinker. The vast majority of Cubs fans who loved Sammy, now despise him more than any other ballplayer. It really is sad.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Excellent post. Sammy was never the brightest bulb--he got pilloried by the Tribune P.R. machine in the end.
