I knew he was an immigrant but didn't know from where. It was also interesting that he was drafted at such a young age. You had great info on his childhood. You guys also did a great job of talking about his baseball life in chronological order.YasminKavarizadehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826724576030916901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896326820026379460.post-8736219014173423492011-11-03T06:16:29.236-07:002011-11-03T06:16:29.236-07:00In your presentation I learned a lot about Sammy S...In your presentation I learned a lot about Sammy Sosa's life when he was young.

The video added some humor into your presentation, and I like that.

He was drafted at the age of 15 but because he was one year to young, he got redrafted at the age of 16 by the Texas Rangers. I liked the alternating that you two did between the slides, the transition was very good.Afifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942424135601025929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1896326820026379460.post-7839327013283215412011-11-03T06:09:59.652-07:002011-11-03T06:09:59.652-07:00I had no idea about Sammy Sosa's past.

I new the DR wasnt a wealthy country but the fact that someone can grow up playing with branches and make their way to being an all-star in the MLB amazes me.<br /> Great presentation and information.

You both did a great job explaining the deeper meanings of your points together.

Also the video really kept my attention and showed me more about who he was and his personality of how friendly he seems to be.Maggie Roweddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862176392941663006noreply@blogger.com
