One year and one day after I saw Sammy Sosa's 501st career home run on a summer-like April afternoon at Wrigley Field against the Reds, I witnessed Sosa's record-tying 512th homer as a Cub on a summer-like April afternoon at Wrigley Field against the Reds. When Moises Alou followed Sosa's shot in the bottom of the ninth with one of his own to win the game, the stranger next to me hugged me amid the delirium. Probably the best baseball game I've ever seen in person.
