Chicago Cubs at Houston Astros -- September 25, 1998.
------------------------------------------------
Baseball fans undoubtedly remember the epic 1998 home run battle between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa. And you probably also remember McGwire emerged the overall leader that year. But for a brief moment during the final weekend of the '98 season, Sosa led the majors in home runs. In that September 25 game where his Cubs took on the Houston Astros, Sosa hit his 66th of year while McGwire was sitting at 65. But less than an hour later, McGwire hit his 66th in St. Louis.
While this game featured Sosa's final home run of the '98 campaign, McGwire hit five that final weekend to finish with an eye-popping 70* homers.
