Dominican home-run king Sammy Sosa revealed upon his return to the DR on Friday that Japan has promised him to send 1,000 prefabricated houses to replace Dominican homes destroyed by Hurricane Georges. Sosa was recently in Japan for an exhibition tournament, where he captured the hearts of Japanese baseball fans. He used the occasion of the tour to meet with many Japanese officials to request aid for Dominicans left homeless by Georges. He also auctioned off uniforms and bats to raise money for the same cause.
