President Leonel Fernandez is hosting a special luncheon with ballplayers Sammy Sosa, David Ortiz and Julio Lugo today. Fernandez will honor Sosa and his feat of 600 career homeruns, which was accomplished during this past baseball season. Sosa had a great year with 21 homeruns and 92 RBI in only 114 games played. Ortiz has also had a great year. His .332 average, 35 homeruns and 117 RBI helped the Red Sox win their second World Series title in four years. Ortiz’s Red Sox were aided by the defense provided by Julio Lugo.
In yesterday’s baseball action the Tigres beat the Gigantes 4-2 thanks to the offensive powerhouse of Andy Tracy.
