With the Cubs on a downward plunge with no end in sight and White Sox manager Tony La Russa making more controversial decisions, it’s a great time to debate the baseball season.
I asked a few of them Sunday where they stood on the burning question of Sammy Sosa’s candidacy. Only one voter said they would vote unequivocally for Sosa’s enshrinement. Two others answered “no” without hesitation or explanation. One said yes, noting the criteria for entrance aren’t as stringent as getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. Another said yes, but only if Sosa admits to having used performance-enhancing drugs and shows remorse.
