- Is Sammy Sosa trying to look white?
If you’ve seen recent photos of him, it’s a fair question. The last time most of us saw Sosa, his skin was the color of mahogany. Now it looks as if he dipped his face in baking powder.
Photos of Sosa at the Latino Grammy Awards last week floated from inbox to inbox and blog to blog, arguably causing as much controversy as his dishonest performance at the congressional steroid hearings in 2005.
This is Sosa’s look last week … And just as I didn’t believe then that Sosa was steroid-free, I don’t buy now that Sosa’s drastically lightened skin is merely the result of a skin rejuvenation process and an illusion caused by bright TV lights at the awards show.
