Sammy Sosa says the reason his skin appeared so white in recent photos has nothing to do with being sick, or with having some sort of weird Michael Jackson-esque whitening procedure. Rather, Sammy’s skin is supposedly the product of a “skin rejuvenation” that’s taking its sweet time to rejuvenute:
Sammy Sosa’s Skin Does Not Look Well
"He's not trying to be Michael Jackson," said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa. "He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin," Polihronis said. "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."
Maybe so, but it’s sort of hard to explain this away as bad lighting:
Gah! Sammy should probably consider a refund on that skin rejuvenation. That epidermis does not look rejuvenated, we’re working with a definition of rejuvenated that does not include the Cryptkeeper as an example.
