Not sure about stocks, but I bet he has a bookie; In offhand remark, Greenspan predicts Sosa comeback 6.23 p.m. ET (2224 GMT) September 23, 1998 WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, whose economic forecasts have the power to shake the world's economies, may have demonstrated Wednesday an uncanny clairvoyance with baseball. As a hearing of the Senate Budget Committee was about to begin, reporters asked Greenspan if he would stop by the press table first. He almost never speaks to reporters, not even "hello'' lest it be misinterpreted as a signal for the stock market. This time he gave the invitation due consideration, then said: "I seriously question whether Sammy Sosa is correct in conceding he will not win.'' Wednesday's newspapers reported remarks by Chicago Cubs outfielder Sosa that he thought St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Mark McGwire "will finish a little bit higher'' in their head-to-head race to set a season home run record. When he spoke Tuesday, Sosa had gone without a hit in 21 at-bats and trailed McGwire 65-63 in the home run race. Ninety minutes after Greenspan's remark, Sosa hit his 64th in the fifth inning of a game against the Brewers in Milwaukee. In the sixth inning, he bounced his 65th off the center-field bleachers, tying McGwire.
