[edit] 2007
New info on Sosa was added, regarding his 40 man roster add to the Rangers. It all looks and sounds good, but I believe the batting average is wrong. i read it to be .452 here: [1]
My source may be wrong, we should clear it up, though, if it is not.
- In that same article Rangers GM pretty much garauntees Sosa will start on opening day. That may be worthy of mention.
Also, his career revival with the Rangers may be worthy as its own section under, possibly "2007, with the Rangers" or something like that. Right now it's under 06-07 off-season, which is also accurate. Does anyone care? (Mythos721 17:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC))
- I modified this entry to reflect the 2007 portion as such, dividing the "2006, and beyond" into one titled 2006, and one called 2007. However, there is still the matter of his actual batting average, or maybe it doesn't matter, since it will change. (Mythos721 18:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC))
[edit] School
where did sammy go to school and college? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.148.204.185 ([[User talk:12.148.204.185|talk
- Sosa didn't go to college. He grew up in poverty in the Dominican Republic, and was signed at the age of 16. Jpers36 22:28, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

- Perhaps someone should add that he didn't go to college. I would do it myself but I'm hardly an authority on Sammy Sosa, just a casual fan. --J.a.f.a.c. 05:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hop
I think something about his trademark hop should be included. --Chitomcgee 03:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Baninter
What does the Baninter scandal have to do with Sosa? It's unclear why it's linked to at the bottom. --jdickert 12:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
There is serious vandalism on this right now that I am about to remove. I am shocked that no one has removed this previously Thetaxmancometh 02:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- Someone managed to slip it back in again. I've removed it again. -- Rogerborg 16:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sammy Sosa
This needs to be reviewed: Dfellman 12:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
As a child, he grew shoes to help support his mother and six siblings. [citation needed] He started playing baseball at 14, a fairly old age for starting baseball, after he decided to quit boxing at his mother's behest.[citation needed] He played baseball with his friends using cut milk cartons and towels as gloves. They made a ball out of a tightly tied knot of towels. The Philadelphia Phillies attempted to sign him at age 15, but this deal was not allowed by Major League Baseball because of a rule making the minimum age for contracts between major league teams and players 16. [citation needed] After turning 16, he signed with the Texas Rangers in 1985. He later became a girl in 1667 after he ate some pasta.
