Sammy Sosa Hits 61 and 62 in 1998

Yup... I had the honor of witnessing Sammy Sosa's 61st and 62nd homeruns during the 1998 season. Of course McGuire had hit 61 about a week earlier, but it was exciting to say the least. Were they juicing? Back then we had no clue... we were just loving baseball in Chicago. The Cubs won that game with a Mark Grace walk-off homerun in the 10th inning! I came across this ticket stub while finally cleaning out my black file cabinet, something I promised my wife I would do 2 months ago!
