Yes! Nobody seemed to want Sammy. I think he could have and can still help some team. As for steroids,Sammy was never tested so we don't really know for sure whether he was juiced up. Everybody just took it for granted he was with no proof. He should be elected to Hall of Fame for sure

Sammy sucks and has no chance of getting into the hall of fame regardless if he hit 600 homeruns. No team even wants him now. He was an overpaid cry baby. Besides, Sammy is a cheater,he used steroids. What he does need is a one way ticket back to the Dominican Republic.

The proper wording would be Shoud Sosa have given in and not asked for so much money so he could hit 12 HRs so he could reach 600. Now in that situation yeah he should have accepted the lesser money and gone in. The Nationals offered him some money and a tryout basically. He wouldn't take it because it wasn't enough money. The man needed to swallow his pride cause no one really wante him.

he should have
the nationals offered him a minor lleague deal
that was the only deal at the time, if he came back with them, he would have probably hit 12 homeruns because he might have been jose guillen's replacement,
but he turned them down and has no contract
people say he used steroids
but as hank aaron sed
steroids give u power but u really need hand-eye cordination to swing the bat, and even if he used the cork bat, it might not have been for so long, i mean come on like 15 years in, he someone would have had notice
it was tough on him coming to the orioles in the al from the nl where he normally was,
but if he does that'd be a great milestone to reach
only mays, aaron, bonds and ruth have done it

Maybe, but he was and is so unpopular these days, no one would have really cared.
Nobody wanted to give him a contract so it may have been hard for him to reach 600 anyway.
It might be better this way, ducking quietly out of the picture.
It shows more grace and class than, say, Bonds, who keeps on playing like he's all innocent or something.

Sammy sucks! He doesn't deserve a chance to hit 600.

600 is a big milestone, but no team would want to pay him what he wanted to hurt thier team that much. How can you go from hitting 66 home runs in a season to having to use a corked bat to bunt the ball?

It's not that Sammy didn't want to stay...it's that no one wanted to sign him for the money he thought he deserved. Had he lowered his asking price, more teams would be glad to sign him up.
But when you are strictly an "All or Nothing" hitter (home runs or nothing), and you are asking for Manny Ramirez money...no one is going to want anything to do with you.

The way he hit the last couple years, it would have taken him a couple years to get 12 more, plus no one wanted him.

I don't think his body would've survived another season. It was broken down from steroids and no AL team showed interest in him. After all the backlash from steroid use, I doubt he would've wanted to live under that microscope anyways.
