What's a fine? A day's salary
Dear Covers:
Sosa got fined. The fine is reportedly largest in Cubs history
But, read on. Sammy Sosa was fined $87,400 - just one day's salary - for arriving late and leaving early at the Cubs' regular-season finale at Wrigley Field. His agent said Thursday that Sosa most likely will file a grievance.
Why the fine? Sosa got angry and said he was getting tired of the Cubs' manager Baker blaming him for their failures. Manager Dusty Baker told reporters he wanted Sosa to be in top shape next season.
So, an angry Sosa arrived 70 minutes before Sunday's first pitch, and he apparently left 15 minutes after the game started without putting on his uniform, according to security cameras in the team's parking lot at Wrigley Field. Sosa told the Chicago Sun-Times he was in the clubhouse until the seventh inning.
The Chicago Tribune reported the fine is the largest in Cubs history. But, never mind, it is still just one day's salary.
