The Cubs had runners at second and third when Sosa broke his bat with a grounder to second that at first appeared to drive in a run.
But crew chief Tim McClelland gathered with the other three umpires to examine the bat. Cubs manager Dusty Baker came out and the umpires showed the bat to him.
Originally posted by Matt 26z This is a conspiracy. The Cubs wanted to trade him, but the fan backlash would have been huge. Now they have a reason. HMMMMM.....
lol, but who would want him now? He just lost LOTS of value.
they should kick him out of baseball...Pete Rose gets kicked out for gambling on it but nothing that severe happens when somebody cheats in it?...crazy

Originally posted by Matt 26z Just as they said on TV..... He's broken many bats before, and those were not corked. So this was something he very rarely did, or just now started.
So it's not very logical to say the 500 HR's were tainted.
I know same thing with Pete Rose and many of the other steroid boys. So I see your argument, he's been very fortunate and lucky. Im not buyin it but hey someone out there believes he was legit
And to top it off Sosa said it was his bat and he uses it for exhibitions but grabbed it by mistake. Lame and to boot he was 2-15 with 8k's against the Astros last weekend. YOUR DONE

Take a rubber ball and bounce it off the ground, and then do the same with a ball shape made of wood
take a rubber ball and enclose it in wood.. will not bounce
but what the fuck
theres all types of bats now made from different materials, aluminum, metal alloys, different wood, so who the fuck cares is sosa added his own material
whatever baseball is a shitty ass sport anyway

A lighter bat, with a more elastic core, makes it easier to hit home runs. Major League Baseball has very specific equipment that is allowed, and this is a big no-no... and a well known one.
He fucked up. He cheated, and the fans will remember that. The whole point of a *game* is to play within the rules. Otherwise, you're playing a different game.
And just to be fair, the big difference I noticed at the time was that Sammy quit swinging at everything he saw and became much more selective. He always had massive power, but his plate discipline was atrocious until '98.
Arguing whether the Democratic or Republican party is better is like debating which steaming pile of shit is slightly less stinky.
he should end up with a 12 game suspension and his bats should be subject to inspection at anytime.
12 would be doing him a favor

It sucks that he cheated like that. Honestly I don't think he's been using one the whole time, he's been in a bad slump since coming off the DL, maybe he was looking for an edge.
To say that he's a shitty hitter because he used a corked bat is ridiculous.....there's a lot more corked bats out there than you realize, and the people talking shit right now probably couldn't make contact with a 90mph+ fastball with a whiffle ball bat.
Albert Belle got caught corking his bat once, and he hit a shitload of homers afterwards.
BTW, I agree, cheating is bad, no excuse for it, but it doesn't mean Sosa is a bad hitter, nor do I think it should negate any of the things he's accomplished thus far.
