and why wouldn't he try to get away with it? Not only the millions of dollars in endorsements alone but just the mere fact that society on a whole places him , along with other sports greats, up on a pedastal equal if not higher at times than god. So what if he apologizes ("Sosa apologized to fans, his teammates and the commissioner of baseball")....he's only sorry because he got caught. I consider myself a sports fanatic, but this is yet one more reason why I have slowly turned from professional sports and tend to only follow NCAA, yeah of course you have your controversy there too, but for the most part, it's more about the love of the game.

aw, give the guy a break... he says it was an accident (that it was one of the bats he uses for batting practice). it's not like this is the first bat he's ever broken, yanno?

but yeah, his (and every other longball hitter) credibility is shot now.

I'm sorry -- but what are the odds that the very first time you pick up your very first corked bat -- it shatters? I certainly wouldn't take that one to Vegas...

I think Sammy is a liar and an idiot. I live in Chicago and I cringe whenever I see him on TV. I can't understand a word he says and the whole freakin' religous ritual(s) he has to go through every time he is up to bat is embarrassing. He has probably been praying up there this whole time that he doesn't get caught with his illegal bat.
