Former baseball slugger Sammy Sosa sparked plenty of converasation after showing up at the Latin Grammy Awards looking several shades lighter than usual.
Compare that photo to one from May 2009 and another from August 2007, the striking change in skin colour is obvious.
The images are reminat of how Michael Jackson’s skin turned colour. However a friend of the former Cubs plaer says he is not suffering from Vitiligo (a skin condition that results in pigment loss).
“He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson,” former Chicago Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa, told the Chicago Tribune newspaper.
“He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of [the photo appearance] is just the lighting.”
Polihronis said the change in skin color is simply do to a skin proceedure.
“He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years [of playing baseball] in the sun,” Polihronis said.
“It did come out looking weird” in the photos.
What do you think caused the change?
Sammy Sosa's Skin, What Happened? Photo
The saying goes, “the darker the berry the sweeter the juice.”
He probably want to look more like his wife.
Or, he has so much money he wanted a new look.
I wonder if he will do this to his entire body?
I thought he was “fine” with the skin he was born with.
cancer?

Its sad when you think that being “white” is the only way you can get ahead.Doesn’t BARACK OBAMA,OPRAH,SHAQ,TIGER,LEBRON,LIL’WAYNE,AND THE LIST GOES ON!!!!!!!!!!!SAY ANYTHING SAMMY????
When a white guy wants to be black he dresses it. But when a black guy wants to be white he changes is clothes style and his skin pigmentation. Just another black guy who really is white who trying to act black. God dam cracker!
