I remember it like it was yesterday, watching both Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa chase Roger Maris’s single season home run record in 1998.
The coverage got to the point that local games would be interrupted so we could see either of them at bat. It was thrilling, it was dramatic, and it was everything that baseball needed after the player’s lockout ended the 94 season early.
11 years later, both players are swimming in a pool of steroid allegations, and neither of them have a chance at the baseball hall of fame. Now, Sammy Sosa is trying a new approach, he wants to be white. Yes, I said it- he wants to me WHITE!
Have a look for yourself, from his rookie year to last year, the man is fading at a faster rate than Michael Jackson. He claims it is “some cream.” Even basketball’s great Charles Barkley chimed in on the controversy asking why is Sosa thinking he has to be white to get into the hall of fame. It’s funny, looking at the fiasco here. Sammy actually still wants to play baseball, but I think the only team that might have any interest in him now would be the German female softball team.
I honestly can’t wait for this steroid era to end. I wonder if A-Rod is going to start to fade as well. I wonder if Kate Hudson will even care? I hope Roger Clemens does hard time for telling people with a strait face that his steroids were his wife’s.
Sammy Sosa is the latest example of how all involved are getting their just desserts, and I hope there are enough spoons going around for everyone to get their fill. Now all Sammy needs are kids sleeping in his bed, dangle some babies, start begging for hardcore sleep medicines, and then people will overlook this whole bleaching thing.
