Former Cubs star Ryne Sandberg, a 2005 Hall of Fame inductee, says Sammy Sosa doesn't belong.
"I don't think so," Sandberg told a radio station in Chicago yesterday. "Part of being in the Hall of Fame, they use the word integrity in describing a Hall of Famer . . . and I think there are going to be quite a few players that are not going to get in."
The New York Times last week reported that Sosa was one of 104 players who tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, while he was with the Cubs.
