November 9, 200916 yr I'm not sure if this was posted yet, but WTF is going on with Sammy? It looks (in the leftmost picture) that his skin tone is uneven. He may have Vitiligo and the makeup to cover that is always to the lightest shade
November 9, 200916 yr There was an article that said he's going through a 'skin rejuvination' procedure to help ease the effects of sun damage...I guess all of those Wrigley day games make people whiter?? Anyway, it might be the lighting of that picture because his wife looks a lot lighter in the second shot as well.
November 11, 200916 yr Sammy Sosa tells friends he is comfortable in his own skin. But a widely circulated photo of the former Cubs slugger makes his skin color appear several shades lighter. "He's not trying to be Michael Jackson," said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis, who talks frequently with Sosa. Sosa was photographed recently during an appearance at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. "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. "He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, 'If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.' "People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can't believe it is such a big deal." Polihronis, the former Cubs Care/Community Relations manager for the team, said Sosa told her he has used moisturizing treatment at night on his face. "He has always been concerned with the way he looks," she said. "Probably just bad timing going to an awards show." Among the possible side effects for some laser skin rejuvenation methods include discoloration of the skin. The treated area may become lighter or darker in appearance. "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 picture)." http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-08-sammy-sosa-nov08,0,7519658.story
November 12, 200916 yr That skin rejuvenation process doesn't explain his green contacts though... For comparisons sake.
