Sammy Sosa on Sharing Chicago with Michael Jordan & Ryan Howard Relives The Phillies Glory Days

Our two guests today impacted the game of baseball with their hitting prowess in different ways. Sammy Sosa brought baseball back to life with his charisma and home run magic, while Ryan Howard embodied the modern power hitter, leading a new generation of sluggers who could change the game with one swing. Sosa opens up about his journey from the Dominican Republic to becoming one of the faces of baseball in the 90s, competing with Mark McGwire, what it was like sharing Chicago with Michael Jordan, and the truth behind his iconic home run hop. He also reflects on his legacy, the toughest pitchers he faced, and his thoughts on today’s MLB. Howard joins the show to talk about his rise from the minors to becoming an MVP and World Series champion, the brotherhood with Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley, the heartbreak of his 2011 Achilles injury, and how he’s carrying the game forward through media and mentorship. Two of the most feared hitters of their eras. Two stories that shaped modern baseball.
