Tim Kurkjian: Yes. Sammy Sosa is a Hall of Famer. There is no definitive proof about his alleged steroid involvement, so in the absence of hard evidence, his numbers are what we go by, and they are of Cooperstown quality. He has the fifth-most home runs in baseball history.
Sammy Sosa is a hero to me because he is helping his hometown, the Dominican Republic. Sosa has found wealth in America. A lot of ballplayers would have forgotten about their home if they had Sammy s fortune, but Sosa didn t. He started the Sammy Sosa Foundation to help the Dominican Republic. In the end of the 1998 baseball season, he was fundraising to help restore damage that Hurricane Georges caused the Dominican. Besides playing baseball, helping the Dominican Republic is the biggest part of Sammy s life. Like Sammy Sosa, Roberto Clemente played baseball. Clemente passed away on December 31, 1972. Clemente is a hero to me because he died for a very noble cause. His baseball stats make him one of the best players in history, but his heart made him a hero.
