Sosa wants to play for the Dominican Republic in the inaugural World Baseball Classic next March. He might have to hit at the bottom of the lineup or come off the bench. The Dominican team already is loaded with talented sluggers, including Vladimir Guerrero, David Ortiz, Albert Pujols, Manny Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano and Miguel Tejada _ all of whom plan to participate.(AP Photo/Julie Jacobson)
