The Chicago Cubs and Sammy Sosa make it to playoffs

Dominicans throughout the nation celebrated yesterday when Sammy Sosa accomplished his goal — to lead the Chicago Cubs to the Major League playoffs. The Cubs survived a San Francisco Giants’ rally and defeated these 5-3 in their home Wrigley Field in the wild-card tiebreaker. They will face Atlanta in the series that begins Wednesday in Atlanta. This is their first playoffs since 1989 and they have a new chance at making it to the World Series for the first time since 1945.
