So what, we're not allowed to disagree with you now? Sosa had 66 HR's that season. Of course the individual goal of the game is to get on base, which Olreud nearly did one in two times that season. But Sosa had 66 homers and drove in 158 runs. Let's be honest, there wasn't much else around Sosa that year on the 98 team. Grace had a solid season and Henry Rodriguez was decent, but that was about it. Olerud would have gotten on base, but who was going to drive him in? The point of the game is to score the most runs (wow I feel like an idiot saying that). Like Derwood said, baseball is a TEAM game. Based on the 1998 team, I'd much rather have had Sosa as he had the ability to not only drive others in, but drive himself in on every given AB.
