The gentleman from Illinois has the actual ball park. So when Sammy Sosa hits a home run on Waveland Avenue or goes to right field and hits a home run on Sheffield Avenue. those balls are landing in the district of the gentleman from Illinois . But Chicago happens to be a city of immigrants. I think it is altogether fitting that Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire both share the record at this point. and one happens to be an immigrant. because the City of Chicago and our country was built by immigrants. Let me say that in this cynical era where sports is all about big money. and baseball has certainly not been immune to those issues. and in the era of sports agents. it is very refreshing to have two great heroes like Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire who play the sport for the love of the game. I do not see Mark McGwire play baseball as often as I see Sammy Sosa. but it is clear to those of us in Chicago who watch him on a daily basis that here is somebody who plays the game the way it ought to be played. who plays it the way they used to play it in the old days. who plays it with great enthusiasm and who has an allaround style of game.
