Sosa's back to blowing kisses after homers (Jorge Arangure Jr., ESPN The Magazine, 6/16/2007)

Quote:
But Sammy could avoid being Sammy for only so long. So here he is once again as Sammy, the larger-than-life figure with the beaming smile, in the Texas Rangers' clubhouse, only one home run shy of 600. He is blowing kisses and hopping after homers once again for Texas, the only team that offered Sosa an opportunity to play in 2007. Entering Saturday's game against the Reds, Sosa is hitting .252 with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs.
