In 1998, with baseball still reeling from the 1994 players strike and cancellation for the World Series, Mark McGwire of the St. Louis Cardinals and Sammy Sosa of the Chicago Cubs embarked on a dual home run record pursuit that would reignite passion in America’s pastime.
The early part of the ‘98 season belonged to McGwire. Coming in off the ‘97 season where he was traded in the middle of the campaign from the Oakland Athletics to the Cardinals, McGwire was looking to build on the 58 homer total he hit split between the two teams. When Sosa’s Cubs came to St. Louis on Sept. 7 to begin a two-game series, it seemed like the perfect storm. The Pomona, Calif., native was up to the challenge, ripping a home run in the series opener to tie the record and set the stage for the main event that would take place the following day.
However, five homers in his final series of the season against the Montreal Expos would make McGwire the first player in MLB history to hit 70 home runs in a season and give him the crown as single-season home run king.
The most exciting baseball season ever !!
These guys are still considered hero’s of the game and Lance Armstrong has been erased from every record book he was even in. Think about that.
