Sosa joins elite with 600 home runs

Sammy Sosa made baseball history in an ironic way Wednesday, as he hit a home run to give him his 600th in his career and now puts him in the same league as Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron, the 600 HR club. The ironic part was that it came against his former team, the Chicago Cubs, to hand them another loss in the process. Sosa was filled with emotion after the hit, intertwined with his major league past and present. "It was something that cannot be explained," Sosa said. "Getting my 600th against the Chicago Cubs, and my first team was the Texas Rangers. It's like everything clicked. My emotions, I don't know what they are."
