...When McGwire and Sosa were pursuing Maris's record in 1998, Maris Jr. appeared at games to celebrate both players. But that was before baseball's steroid scandal raised questions about their achievements...
Roger Maris, Jr., remains adamant in his belief that his father is baseball's rightful home run king. The former Yankee slugger's record of 61 homers in 1961 stood for 37 years, until both Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa passed it (with 70 and 66 homers respectively) in the summer of 1998, followed by Barry Bonds' record-setting 2001 season of 73 home runs. But all three have been dogged by suspicion of using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, and there have been calls to restore Maris as the title holder...
...book detailing the surly slugger's alleged steroid abuse is scheduled to hit stores in time for opening day. In Game of Shadows, two San Francisco Chronicle reporters write that Bonds, 41, first tried performance-enhancing drugs in 1998 out of jealousy toward heavier hitters Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.

Pronto empresas como Bacard?, Dr Pepper y cerveza Coors tocaban a su puerta pidiendo asesoramiento sobre c?mo conquistar el mercado latino, y as? Sosa & Associates se convirti? en la mayor agencia publicitaria hispana de EE.UU. El negocio alcanz? $100 millones en ventas anuales...
...Ronal Reagan acudi? a Sosa, quien creo anuncios borrosos y sentimentales que se enfocaban en el candidato en vez de los temas y promet?an a los latinos que los republicanos compart?an sus valores familiares, responsabilidad personal y dedicaci?n al trabajo. ?Ronald Reagan me hizo comprender que los latinos son republicanos, s?lo que no lo saben todav?a?, dice Sosa, que ha participado en seis campa?as presidenciales. Con la ayuda de Sosa, George W. Bush logr? capturar el 40% del voto hispano, un incremento gigantesco sobre el 21% que recibi? Bob Dole en 1996. Ahora parcialmente jubilado, Sosa, de 66 a?os...
