Timeline
Sosa is second all-time in home runs among foreign-born MLB players and is one of only three National League players since 1900 to reach 160 RBIs in one season (2001).
Sosa hit his 400th home run in his 1,354th game and his 5,273rd at-bat, reaching this milestone quicker than any player in National League history.
He is one of nine players in MLB history to hit 600 career home runs.
With the Rangers, Sosa hit his 600th career home run to become the fifth player in MLB history to reach the milestone.
Samuel Peralta Sosa (born November 12, 1968) is a Dominican-American former professional baseball right fielder.
He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for 18 seasons, primarily with the Chicago Cubs.
Sosa made his major league debut on June 16, 1989, with the Texas Rangers, wearing #17 and leading off as the starting left fielder.
In 1990, Sosa batted .233 with 15 home runs, 70 runs batted in, 10 triples, and 32 stolen bases.
He also struck out 150 times, fourth most in the American League.
Sosa started the 1991 season by hitting two home runs and driving in five runs.
However, he slumped for the rest of the year and batted .203 with 10 home runs and 33 runs batted in.
After playing for the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox, Sosa joined the Cubs in 1992 and became regarded as one of the game's best hitters.
Sosa batted .260 with eight home runs and 25 RBIs in his first season with the Cubs.
In 1993, Sosa batted .261 with 33 home runs with 93 RBIs.
He also showed his speed by stealing 38 bases and became the Cubs' first 30-30 player.
Sosa continued to hit for power and speed in 1994 but he also improved his batting average.
He ended up batting .300 with 25 home runs, 70 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases.
Sosa was named to his first All-Star team in 1995.
In 144 games, he batted .268 with 36 home runs and 119 RBIs.
Sosa continued his success with the Cubs in 1996 as he batted .273 with 40 home runs and 100 RBIs.
However, in 1997, Sosa batted just .251 with a .300 on-base percentage, and led the league in strikeouts with 174 despite hitting 36 home runs with 119 RBIs.
In 1998, Sosa, along with Mark McGwire, achieved international fame for his home run-hitting prowess in pursuit of Roger Maris' single-season home-run record.
With the Cubs, Sosa became a 7-time All-Star while holding numerous team records.
He finished his career with stints with the Baltimore Orioles and the Rangers for a second time.
He is also the only player to have hit 60 or more home runs in a single season three times, which he accomplished in 1998, 1999 and 2001.
After years as a respected power/speed threat with a rocket arm in right field, he emerged during the 1998 season as one of baseball's greatest.
It was in this season that both Sosa and Mark McGwire were involved in the "home run record chase", when both players' prowess for hitting home runs drew national attention as they attempted to pass Roger Maris' single season home run mark of 61 home runs.
In the early months of the year, Sosa trailed McGwire significantly, being as many as 16 homers behind at one point in May.
But as the chase progressed, Sosa eventually tied McGwire with 46 home runs on August 10.
However, McGwire pulled away slightly and reached 62 home runs to break the record first on September 8.
Sosa tied McGwire once again at 62 on September 13.
He did not lead the league in home runs in any of those seasons, although he did lead the league in 2000 with 50 home runs, and in 2002 with 49.
In a 2005 congressional hearing, Sosathrough his attorneydenied having used performance-enhancing drugs during his playing career.
Sosa was born in the Dominican Republic.
Though born in a Batey community in Consuelo, his officially registered birthplace is San Pedro de Macorís, which was "the largest town nearby".
Sosa is known to family and friends as "Mikey".
His maternal grandmother suggested his birth name of Samuel, and also came up with his nickname: "[She] heard the name on a soap opera she liked and decided from that moment on he would be Mikey."
