Between Cubs' victory lap and Hall of Fame vote, Sammy Sosa barely staying in the picture

Sammy Sosa has stayed so far off the radar that his long-running absence from Cubs Convention didn't even come up during last weekend's Q&A session with ownership. Sosa a seven-time All Star, 1998 National League MVP and the franchise's all-time leader with 545 home runs (and 609 overall) hadn't gained any traction at all during his first four years under BBWAA consideration, hovering between 12.5 and 6.6 percent.
