Sosa hit two more home runs on Thursday, and set a Major League record by going deep in his 44th big-league park, but that still couldn't save the Rangers. Instead, they found themselves down by four runs after two innings, and went on to lose to the Cleveland Indians, 9-4, at Jacobs Field.

Sosa's sixth-inning home run off of Indians starter Paul Byrd was his first ever at Jacobs Field, and the 44th different park of his career. That's one more than Ken Griffey Jr. and Fred McGriff. The only two active parks where Sosa doesn't have a home run are Washington's R.F.K. Stadium, and the new Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

The Rangers aren't scheduled to be in StLouis or DC this year.

You better move him while the iron is hot.... oh wait rangers you had the same thing happen with Phil Nevin... and you held him too long....

Sosa isn't a long term or short term answer... find someone like the CWS that needs and OF/DH and make the move....

It's just a matter of time before he and mendoza are joined at the hip
