Who is Sammy Sosa? That should be an easy question to answer.

Sammy Sosa was a baseball player. He was also an MVP, a 30/30 hitter, and the only person in Chicago Cubs history with more than 600 home runs.

But he’s more than that. To some, Sosa helped breathe life back into baseball following the 1994 strike. To others, he’s a pariah; the face of the biggest scandal to rock the game in a century.

Sosa’s legacy is complicated. His prime seasons are among the best ever, while simultaneously being undercut by years of cheating. The result is one of the most controversial, divisive, and often downright bizarre careers in the history of sports.

So I ask again. Who is Sammy Sosa?
