 More Cubs NewsFormer Cubs pitcher Steve Trachsel says that the embrace between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire in 1998 wasn't well-appreciated even at the time. "Everybody wanted to believe them. That goes from the fans to the ownership, everybody. Nobody wanted to believe that they were cheating," Trachsel told "Carmen, Jurko and Harry" Tuesday on ESPN 1000. "Everyone was excited about the home runs, the stands were full. Everyone was excited to watch SportsCenter that night and see what happened." Trachsel said he was bothered by Sosa running in from the outfield to congratulate McGwire after the record-breaking home run in St. Louis. "I know a lot of guys in our clubhouse were upset that Sammy came in from right field, from the coaching staff all the way on down," Trachsel said. "It looked great on TV, and that's obviously what everyone keeps seeing. But to have an opposing player during the game congratulate another opposing player, from a player's standpoint, I didn't appreciate it." |
