But he will go down as the commander-in-chief who traded Sammy Sosa, in 1989, from the Texas Rangers to the Chicago White Sox Did't he trade Sammy to the Cubs?

I thought Sammy went to the Orioles first. Sammy didn't play for the White Sox, and didn't go directly to the Cubs after Texas.

OK, I was wrong. I just looked it up (hey! :-) )
Sammy's first year in the majors, 1989, was with the Rangers. He hit .238 with one home run in 84 at bats. He went to the minors a couple of times and was finally traded to the White Sox. The GM said that was one of his only regrets. Who knew? :-)
