Midwest Sports Fans —
A post that we made here on Friday afternoon regarding Sammy Sosa’s shockingly white appearance (hat tip again to Jimmy Traina) kicked off a flurry of activity around the web (for example: here, here, and here) and rightfully so.

Compare/contrast after the jump. ...

... of Sammy’s and he can do as he pleases. Since I was one of the first sites to post the pictures on Saturday, I just wanted to give Sosa’s side of it know that he’s spoken out.
