I'm sure many of you diehard Sosa fans are already aware of this but Sosa is third all-time on this very prestigious list. He is ahead of McGwire, Mays, Ruth, Bonds, Aaron, DiMaggio, pretty much anybody you can name except Reggie Jackson and Andres Galaragga.
Sammy Sosa has 1,997 career strikeouts and will soon pass Galaragga who has 2000 for second all time. Sosa has a decent chance to become the all-time strikeout king if he averages 150 or so strikeouts a year the next 4 seasons to reach the magic number of 2598.
In this category, Sosa truly is the best player in Chicago. I mean Frank Thomas has ONLY 1086 career strikeouts. How can anyone expect to be a great power hitter like Sosa without whiffing an average of almost once per game for your entire career?
