National League Most Valuable Player, record breaking Sammy Sosa will be received by US President Bill Clinton on 9 December at the White House. President Clinton had called Sosa when he broke Roger Maris’s record of 61 home runs last baseball season. "I am proud of being a Dominican and with the President of the Untied States I will talk ball, but I will also speak of the problems of Latin American countries," said Sosa. He said that after the visit with Clinton he will travel to Los Angeles for a photo session with Mark McGwire for the cover of a magazine and then he will take a break to rest to be ready for the next ball season.
