Sammy Sosa Was 'One of the Worst Teammates Ever,' Ex-Cubs P Turk Wendell Says

ESPN aired its "Long Gone Summer" documentary about the 1998 home run race between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire on Sunday night.

On Monday, Sosa's former teammate, pitcher Turk Wendell, blasted him during an interview on WFAN.

"One of the worst teammates ever," he said of Sosa (h/t Mollie Walker of the New York Post). "He only cared about himself, hitting home runs. He didn't care if we lost 20-1; if he hit a home run, he was happy."
