Why would someone go through the problem of corking a bat just to use for batting practice. Come on Sammy at least you could say you were struggling and grab a pitchers bat as many hitters do in a slump.

good point

Sosa is a cheater, and now the whole world knows it. The only problem is, when you cheat in MLB with a corked bat, fans tend to laugh about it, and few take it seriously. Sosa will be the butt of bad jokes, have suspicion follow him around for awhile, but few will remember that he's a lousy, two-bit, good-for-nothin' cheater. Makes me wonder how many times he corked in the past. How many of his home runs were deserved?

Of course, this is the same guy who said he'd be first in line for drug testing, then when he was actually put up to it, he went roid rage on the reporter holding the sample cup.

I thought it was Barry Bonds who went off on that reporter last year, when challenged to take a leak?

It is funny that in High School sports we are required to ask all coaches if there players are properly equipped. We even look at batting helmets, bats etc.. for the proper saftey stamps etc...
Tim McClelland said on Dan Patricks show that they never look at bats nor are required. He also said he wouldn't know if a bat was corked from how it sounded. It seems if major league baseball wants to eliminate the problems then they should have someone inspect prior to each game and certify equipment. Or at the least randomly check equipment. |
You would do that?

There's plenty of evidence that Sosa uses steroids. The chiseled features of his face are a dead giveaway. That "look" comes from nothing else.

<b>Let us take the real world for a moment. You are telling me if some guy, with an agenda would to come and talk to you about a drug test, you would take that test no questions asked? </b>
The point is that Sosa claimed he would take the test, and then when offered an opportunity, ran from it. He could have suggested a number of alternative....I'll take one at my Doctor's....I'll take one with the Team Physician.... Instead he violently refused to discuss the matter and rejected taking the test he had offered to take. |
I've heard of softball players stuffing their aluminum bats with rubber balls and the joke is that if the top ever popped off they would be the only hitters to ever ground out to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and short all at the same time.
