Breaking: Sammy Sosa just released this statement “There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws, but in hindsight I made mistakes and I apologize.”

If you lived through this era, you aren't looking for apologies from the players. We're thanking them for the most entertaining run of baseball ever.
