The 2016 United States presidential election was full
of many surprises at many different points in the eyes of
many voters. In fact, many folks were even surprised when
then-candidate Donald Trump so much as announced his
candidacy. However, everyone here at the Playhouse knew
exactly what was up from the get-go. For background, Sammy
Sosa, in an infamous 2013 interview, stated that he would
strongly consider becoming president of the Dominican
Republic "if he was asked". Note that despite the DR being a
constitutional democracy, Sammy implied that the way to
become president would not be through an election, but
through a mere insider request. This makes perfect sense,
because once you hit 609 home runs, you gain the right to
immediately become president no matter what. It has to be
exactly 609 — no more, no less — with apologies to Jim
Thome, who hit 612 home runs; Thome could have hit more, but
he immediately regretted not stopping at 609 so hit the
brakes.
Anyway, we all know every move Sammy makes
is leading to him becoming Dominican president, but he will
not stop at that position, he will #MakeTheDRGreatAgain, and
make every country a part of the Dominican Republic. Even
for someone like Sammy, that'd be a tough thing to achieve.
He may be able to become Dominican president at will, but
it'll take quite a lot of Flintstones Vitamins and maybe a
corked government to take over the world. Luckily, Sammy has
connections. Sammy is great friends with both the Clinton
family and Donald Trump. Sammy was, of course, the guest of
honor at Bill Clinton's 1999 State of the Union Address who
was seated next to First Lady Hillary Clinton. Hillary,
being an Illinois native and lifelong Cubs fan (until she
was a lifelong Yankees fan! #WhichHillary), took a natural
liking to Sammy and from there on out Sammy remained
connected to the Clinton family, having been with the
Clintons numerous times both post-Bill's presidency and
post-Sosa's MLB career.
Sammy's also a noted good
friend of Donald Trump. Sammy was seen constantly with the
Donald in the height of SammyMania in the late 90s, and
Sammy even caught Trump's first pitch at a Wrigley Field
game in June of 2000. Sammy and Donald have never been seen
together explicitly since Sammy's retirement from Major
League Baseball, but Sammy has been a guest of honor at many
Latin fashion shows held in Trump-owned buildings across the
world, so we assume they keep in touch. Let's be real here,
there's only one country in the world with enough bombs and
enough imperialist presence in every country to reasonably
take over the world if they wanted to, and that's the United
States. Sammy may be ineligible to become the American
president, but come on, the American Constitution begs for
corruption! Tampering with the exact ballots may not be
easy, but the powers that be can and do easily decide who
gets to be on those ballots without the consent of the
American people. As long as we're talking powers that be,
why not six feet and two hundred twenty pounds of pure,
steroided powers that be, and by "be", I mean hit the shit
out of a ball onto Waveland Avenue.
Once it was
apparent that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump would be
running for president, we all knew what Sammy was doing: he
was orchestrating this thing. You may not be able to fuck
with individual ballots, but as long as both candidates are
Friends of Sammy (like Friends of Dorothy, but with more
hair gel), Sammy would have no problem taking hold of all
the imperials powers the United States has at its disposal
to rule the world. And it worked.
