June 20, 2007: Sammy Sosa hits his 600th home run, making him the fifth player to reach the milestoneThe Rangers' Sammy Sosa celebrates after hitting his 600th home run in the fifth inning against the Cubs on June 20, 2007, in Arlington, Texas. When he hit No. 500 with the Cubs on April 4, 2003, in Cincinnati, Sosa had little interest in trying to persuade the lucky fan who caught it to give it back.But with his latest feat, Sosa deposited No. 600 into the Rangers bullpen, where reliever Akinori Otsuka retrieved it.Advertisement“Here’s to Yogi for setting the standard,” said the 41-year-old Fisk, raising a glass of flat champagne after passing the Yankees’ Yogi Berra with 307 home runs.
The game was televised nationally for NBC’s “Game of the Week” with Bob Costas and Tony Kubek on the call.“The ‘Game of the Week’ meant something different 30 years ago than it does now,” he said. “You can get baseball now everywhere. You can practically get it on your wristwatch. But the ‘Game of the Week’ then really was the game of the week. If you lived in a town that didn’t have a big-league team, those three hours every Saturday were your major-league baseball fix.
