Former NL MVP and longtime Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa had an awkward exchange with a reporter Friday regarding his alleged steroid use.

The other day, I wrote an article referencing how I felt the “Chase for 61” between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire saved MLB from the brink of death in 1998.

The Dodgers' loss to the Padres in the 2022 NLDS is one of the more disappointing and embarrassing defeats in MLB history. After entering that series with 111 regular season wins and a historic run differential of +334, the Dodgers looked like a different team in the postseason.
