Venezuelan professional baseball player Lenyn Sosa made headlines for the wrong reasons when fans speculated that he held familial ties to former right fielder Sammy Sosa.
Despite the conjecture, the only thing the men had in common was their last names, as they were not distant cousins.
As Lenyn is an up-and-coming athlete, it’s a given for eagle-eyed viewers to find faults in his game, but he is entirely self-made and did not use connections to get where he is today.
On the other hand, Sammy is a prolific name in the MBL, contributing a significant time to the Texas Rangers and Chicago White Sox as he got regarded as one of the game’s best hitters.
By his 1,354th game, he had hit his 400th home run, a milestone another player could only dream of achieving.
The Dominican-American hung his gloves in 2008 when he instructed his agent not to sign him up for more games.
