Steroids in Baseball... Sosa Mad He Wasn't Picked on Cubs Top 5 All-Time Players

Well boo-hoo.   Sammy's crying he was left off the list of the top 5 players of all time in Chicago Cubs history.  That's just too bad.  In my opinion, anybody who finishes their career with a team by ditching their teammates early on Fan Appreciation Day and lies about it should not be on the list.  Sure, he hit a bunch of meaningless home runs, gave countless heart-taps and kisses to the camera, and sprinted out to right field each day for the "Sammy Sosa Show." 

But let's face it, with his disappearing act from baseball after the 2005 season, almost as sneaky and wierd as his disappearing act from Wrigley Field that last day of the 2004 season when the Cubs once again went into the toilet, there is too much on this guy to be suspect of.  The corked bat.  His physical metamorphosis from a 160 pound 5-tool guy to a 230-pound musclebound slugger with his head appearing three times the size it was when he was a rookie.  His subsequent dramatic dropoff in his power numbers suspiciously associated with his diminished physique in 2005... the list goes on. 

Sammy never failed a drug test.  But was he ever subjected to take one?  No.  The Player's Union protects its guys, even when they are scoundrels, quitters, and cheaters.
