Interesting item in the Sporting News today: "Sammy Sosa was traded twice before landing with the Cubs. It's hardly a coincidence that his career skyrocketed at about the same time his English skills flourished.
"That's why we make a point of wanting these kids to learn English early on," said Expos general manager Omar Minaya, who was born in the Dominican Republic but grew up in the U.S. "I especially realize what a shock it is to come to this country and not understand a single word being said.
