This is Sammy the Bear style #4215. He was introduced on 01/01/1999 and retired about one year later on 12/23/1999. Sammy the Bear was made for Sammy Sosa, homerun hitter from the Chicago Bears. The poem on his swing tag reads: "As Sammy steps up to the plate The crowd gets excited, can hardly wait We know Sammy won’t let us down He makes us the happiest fans in town!" Always kept in a non-smoking environment, Sammy is in mint condition with a mint tag that has been kept in tag protector. I am listing Beanie Babies from my collection as time allows; if you are looking for a particular Beanie, please reach out! Thank you.
