Answer : SAMMY SOSA
Samuel Sosa Peralta, (born November 12, 1968, San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic), is a Dominican professional baseball player who, with Mark McGwire, entertained fans with a series of home run races in the late 1990s that rewrote the record books. In 1999 Sosa became the first player to hit 60 homers in two seasons.
In 1989 Sosa made his professional debut with the Texas Rangers but was soon traded to the Chicago White Sox. Sosa was sent across town to the Chicago Cubs in 1992. The following year the right fielder became the team’s first player to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in one season.
The 1998 season marked a turnaround for Sosa as he became more patient at the plate. After a slow start, he hit 20 home runs in June to set a major league record for most homers in a single month. On September 13, five days after McGwire had passed Maris’s 61 home run mark, Sosa hit his 61st and 62nd homers. He finished the year with a .308 batting average and 66 home runs, earning him the National League’s Most Valuable Player award. On September 18, 1999, Sosa became the first player to hit 60 homers twice; he finished the year with 63.
Before the start of the 2005 season, Sosa was traded to the Baltimore Orioles. In March 2005, amid growing allegations of steroid use in baseball, he testified at a congressional hearing that he had never used performance-enhancing drugs. On June 20, 2007, Sosa hit the 600th home run of his career; he was the fifth major leaguer to accomplish that feat. After the 2007 season, he became a free agent but was not signed by a team.
