After 17 years it was more than about time for Sammy Sosa to talk again. In his first Chicago interview since 2007 we talked about where he's been, what he's doing now, and of course -the magic of that summer of 1998. With special thanks to Phil Smith and the Medinah Shriners hear the full Slammin' Sammy Sosa interview here on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

Arny Granat and Jerry Mickelson started JAM PRODUCTIONS and made history.

Before there was Ticketmaster and Live Nation there was JAM. They built an empire and had more fun than the superstar bands they put on stage.

Arny is still busy with show business and his new company. And even though he doesn't do interviews- he talked to me on this new episode of LIVE FROM MY OFFICE.

There's no ball, no net... it's just back and forth smart assery. That's what this episode is - for the most part. And... we also talk about Bill's time on WLS as we continue to celebrate the 100th year of The Big 890!
