Sad. :(

“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin tone,” Sosa said during an appearance on Univision’s Primer Impacto show in 2009. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.”

“What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don’t think I look like Michael Jackson,” he added.

Apparently, Sosa has kept up his use of the cream over the years, which has led him to appear even whiter than he did in 2009.

I was thinking maybe it was a side effect of steroid withdrawal...

Sammy With Your Nose Soso Bright

Well, I guess he figures there's no such thing as being too white.

There goes any chance of a new career in the NBA.

A wax statue of Pete Rose.
