i think its half joking, but both definitely are large bodied hitters, and if its okay to accuse Sosa with no evidence why not return the favor Really. No evidence? None whatsoever. Ok. In 1997, over the course of 642 at-bats, he hit 36 HR's. In 1998, over the course of 643 at-bats, he hit 66 HR's. So, in one year, Sammy Sosa increased his HR total by 83%. This is not natural. I'm a Sosa homer as much as the next guy but, face the facts. What were his obps for those two seasons? Could the fact he swang at less garbage have added to the jump?
