I don't know whether or not the Cubs are going to win tonight, but Sammy Sosa just hit a home run so long I was able to recite the entire Pledge of Allegiance before it came down. He hit it OVER THE CAMERA BOOTH just to the left of dead center field, a home run so long as to restore one's faith in humanity. He hit it to a place in which no discerning fan would ever dream of having a chance to catch a batted baseball on the fly, to a place in Brad Penny's heart that says: "Maybe I don't want to mess with Sammy tonight." Brings a tear to the eye.
