Say It Ain't So, Sammy

Roger Maris lives!  It appears 61 HRs in a season is still the "real" record, as the New York Times broke a story today that Sammy Sosa is one of the 104 who tested positive for steroids in the "anonymous" testing back in 2003.  There are just 102 more names to be discovered, as ARod was implicated before the season started.  As for Sammy being fingered, I AM SHOCKED - not really. 

Sammy mysteriously hit 66, 63 and 64 dingers in 3 separate seasons and finished with 604 in his career.  Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds also surpassed the magical 61 number, but both have been linked to steroid use as well.  Sosa is also well known for his sudden lapse of understanding the English language during the infamous Congressional hearings regarding steroid use, as he used an interpreter and played the stooge.  He was also suspended in 2003 when his corked bat exploded one day.  Ol' Sammy tried to cover it up by saying it was his batting practice bat.  Uh-huh.  

When will Bud Selig take a stand and re-crown Roger Maris as the true home run champion?  And, when will we get the rest of the cheats on that fateful list?
