The list of cheaters in baseball history may be some what distinguished for example: Whitey Ford, Gaylord Perry, Joe Niekro, Albert Belle, Mike Scott, Brian Moehler, Danny Almonte I can go on and on. None of the of the proceeding holds the home run title except Sosa.
I personally dont think he has ruined his reputation or flushed his career down the toilet; I do think he is an IDIOT. His excuse may make since and it may be proven correct, but if you are going to practice with a loaded bat, dont you think he would be smart enough to MARK IT (he should be able to feel the difference, duh)!
I am not now nor was I in the past a Sosa fan because I personally think is a big crybaby, making millions of dollars and always complaining. When people like me would walk through the fires of hell with a 55-gallon drum of TNT to play the game at the professional level. He wants us to believe he does this for the fans (he said in a press interview that he uses the corked bat in practice to impress the fans), well I dont buy that nor do I believe it was an honest mistake. Sosa is in a batting slump now and needs to justify his hefty salary. [B)]
When we go to bad at night we rember, it is just a game.
