The above photo shows Sosa on the left at a May 2009 People Magazine event. The right is Sosa earlier this week in Las Vegas for the Latin Grammys.

What the hell are you doing Sammy.

From NBCchicago.com

The cause of Sammy's skin condition is unknown, but guesses from around the web include vitiligo (a skin-whitening genetic condition that Michael Jackson claimed to suffer from), repercussions from steroid use, and "really bad makeup."

But a former Cubs rep told the Tribune he's going through some sort of skin rejuvenation process.

"He's not trying to be Michael Jackson," Rebecca Polihronis told the paper. "He was surprised he came out looking so white."

It’s like, “ya, i know, he’s really white-looking. isn’t it weird?”

"He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it felt...he lives vicariously...through himself- He is the most interesting man in the world"

I wonder if all the racists

in St Louis who were pissed that Sosa won the MVP over McGuire in 1998 will be a little more accepting now that he’s white…
