In a recent article found on ESPN.com, MLB homerun standout Sammy Sosa declared his desire to play Major League Baseball again in a report published by a Dominican newspaper.
Sosa last played in 2007 with the Texas Rangers and then expressed, via his agent, his desire to not play for any Major League team. Sosa looks to unretire, so to speak, provided he actually receives an offer. "I still don't have an offer," he stated. "Any team who wants to sign me should have the initiative and make an offer."
The 18 year veteran had his longest and arguably biggest years in Chicago. He spent 16 years in the Windy City, thirteen of those years as a Cub where he had three 60+ Home Run seasons.
Sosa openly answered the "WHY?" to his potential return by stating, "Those who saw me training know I'm hitting the ball with the usual authority. I just hope to get the chance to prove that I'm still a threat."
Whether he actually gets a chance to prove himself will be determined over time. If so, he can be added to a list of many other professional athletes who have announced their "unretiring" and come back to their respective league.
Hopefully this is the right choice for Sammy Sosa, his wife, and four children. Who knows, but one thing still resounded in my mind as I read this article....at some point he will be done playing. Remember my credo..."100% of PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES ULTIMATELY EXPERIENCE JOB TERMINATION."
