Where is Sammy Sosa? Has he retired?

Sosa is currently not playing for any team. He could have signed with the Nationals for a one-year 500,000 guaranteed contract, but chose to pass. I think it is because he still believes that he is an All-Star calibur player and should be payed/treated like one. But because of how he played last year, he won't be and he needs to earn that reputation again. For now he is a roider

Right now? I know for sure that he is in Germany. He is under contract with Mexican TV network Televisa and is commentating the World Cup games for the TV channel TV Azteca, owned by Televisa. He retired from soccer about a year and a half ago. Before retiring, he was playing for Al-Arabi in Qatar and was thinking of making a move to Club San Lorenzo de Almagro in Argentina. He trained with them for one day but declined the offer and retired from soccer. Lately, he has been on Maradona's variety show "La Noche del 10" and has been on other programs. He has been a feature subject for interviews for magazines, newspapers, and TV programs around the world as well as for FIFA.com. Last week, he visited Argentina's training camp in Herzogenaurach, Germany and had lunch with the national team of Argentina competing in the World Cup. According to TN Noticias, a news station from Argentina reporting live in Herzogenaurach at the time, Batistuta was not allowed to conduct an interview with TV reporters because of his contract with Televisa. There has been photographs of him at the training camp, but I haven't seen them. Another little fact is that he has also taken up golf :)

Sammy the cheater Sosa finally retired. That is no team in the league would take him. He was never that great a player. For years teams played him purely becuase he might become s good hitter. He took the money and played poorly year after year. Finally just before they kick him out of baseball he suddenly can hit. Not surprisingly when he started doing steroids. \n\nEven then he struck out so often that he was a liability in the lineup all but two of his seasons. Sosa should have been a DH the way he played defense. Not from lack of ability, but from lack of hustle. \n\nSosa imediately got an ego as big as a barn. This is a guy who publicly claimed he saved baseball all by himself. Makes Reggie Jackson seem humble. Unlike Jackson Sosa was caught twice with corked bats and busted using steroids. Sosa may be charged with crimanal charges for lieing under oath during the steroids hearings in Congress.

Hierro has since retired. I would assume he lives in England as that's where he ended his career with Bolton.

I think he used steroids back from 1998 through 2002.  I think just to be fair, they should wipe out his records from those years.  And Sammy Sosa may never play baseball again, from what i heard was he retired.

The most famous player is Old Yogi Berra, played for the Yankee's he was traded to them from St. Louis Cardinals. Has played in more world series than anyone else. He was born on Elizabeth street in St. Louis. (The Hill) He is famous because I cant turn on the TV without seeing him advertising something

Cory Patterson, he had one hell of a season in 2006. It seems that everyone who leaves the Cubs for another team has a great career after moving on. Greg Maddux(Atlanta), Rafeal Palmerio, Joe Carter, Steve Traschel,Jon Lieber, Moses Alou, I could keep going.\n\nIf you are looking for the best retired Cub player.....  Lee Smith\nYour question isnt very clear on what you are looking for.

No, Sosa doesn't deserve the honor because looking at his sudden body growth in the mid-90s, it's obvious he was using as much as Bonds or McGwire.\n\nBut the record won't come down because it was established before steroids were illegal in baseball, so there would be no grounds ... no rules were broken that were in effect at that time.

That town is San Pedro de Macoris.  Through the 2006 season, 71 players born there have played at least one game in the major leagues.  Some of the most notable players from the island city are Sammy Sosa who hit 588 career home runs for 6th on the all-time list, 1987 American League MVP George Bell, current slugger Alfonso Soriano and two-time 20 game winning pitcher Joaquin Andujar.
