Are you like me? When you watched ESPN's Long Gone Summer doc, did you think, "Hey, wasn't Sammy Sosa supposed to be in this?" 66 homers ain't what it used to be, apparently. So on today's episode, I'm joined by longtime friends of the pod Kevin McCaffrey and Adam Mamawala (Away Games Podcast) to look back on the thrilling, regrettable, wonderful, and downright odd ride Sammy took all of us on during the summer of 1998. It's what made Adam a baseball fan, gave Kevin a firsthand look at a milestone, and enabled me to give a Cub superstar a curtain call in Pittsburgh. The three of us have strikingly different views on Sammy's season now but at the time, he definitely made it cool to be a baseball fan again. Remember when that was a thing? Also: Rob Manfred sucks. Baseball owners suck. Abolish capitalism. You know the deal.
