June 16 (Bloomberg) -- Sammy Sosa, the No. 6 home run hitter in Major League Baseball history, tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug in 2003, the New York Times reported, citing lawyers with knowledge of drug-test results.

Sosa, who joined with Mark McGwire in a chase of baseball’s single-season home-run record in 1998, was a member of the Chicago Cubs the year of the positive test.
