Despite breaking Roger Maris's single-season record of 61 home runs with 66 of his own compared to McGwire's 70, Sosa will likely never reach the Hall of Fame due to steroid allegations.
Sosa is a one-time MVP, seven-time All-Star and six-time Silver Slugger. He finished with more than 600 home runs in his 18-year career.
