Sosa: An Autobiography. By Sammy Sosa. First Edition, First Printing. Warner Books. New York, 2000.

Sammy Sosa was a generational baseball talent. During his eighteen seasons in the MLB, he was a seven-time All Star, a six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and a National League MVP. Over the course of his career, he hit over 600 home runs. He had over 1600 RBIs. He finished with a batting average of .273. He would have been an undeniable candidate for the MLB Hall of Fame, but Sosa became embroiled in the 2000s steroids scandal when he tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Several years before that event, however, he was one of MLB’s greatest stars. This 2000 first edition of his autobiography, co-authored with Marcos Breton, catalogues his ascendance as one of the best players in major league baseball. It begins with his childhood in the Dominican Republic. It follows Sosa to his greatest seasons with the Chicago Cubs. For any fan of MLB, it recounts the exciting career of one of the game’s best hitters.

This first edition, first printing is in very good condition. In the original casing, fine. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, very good with only security sticker to inside of back panel and puncture to spine.

A very good first edition of Sammy Sosa’s autobiography.
