Is Pete Crow-Armstrong going to be a member of the 600-homer club?

Is he going to launch 60 home runs in a season?

Who knows how similar the resumes will be once Crow-Armstrong’s playing days are over?

But with Sammy Sosa returning to Wrigley Field for a hero’s welcome Friday, there were comparisons being thrown around putting the Cubs’ newest star and their most accomplished hitter ever in the same bucket.

Sosa was appointment viewing for fans watching on TV, commanding attention each time he stepped to the plate, as onlookers held their collective breath for his next moonshot onto Waveland.
