Will this be the weekend that Slammin' Sammy Sosa hits the 600 homerun mark? That is the question on every sports fan's mind as the Texas Rangers head to Boston this weekend to play a three game series against the Red Sox. Sammy's first Major League homerun ever was hit off Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens back in 1989 when he was just a rookie for the Rangers.
Heading into the series Sosa is sitting at 598 homeruns and while the odds that he can hit two homeruns in three games are high the anticipation and excitement are even higher. Overall he leads the Rangers this season in both homeruns (10) and RBI's (36).
If Slammin' Sammy hits the 600 mark this weekend he will be the first Dominican and and fifth man in history to reach the career milestone.
