“There were legends on legends down in the cage before the game,” Crow-Armstrong said. “If anything, the most intimidating part of today was doing my pregame routine in front of Sammy Sosa and Billy Williams.”
During a chat before the game in the batting cage, Sosa actually made a request.
“He was like, ‘I want three out of you today. I need three,’” said Crow-Armstrong, who cracked a smile. “Sure enough. I don’t know what he passed down to me there.”
