Sammy Sosa made quite a commotion recently when he showed up looking much lighter at an event in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.

“He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson,” said former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis. “He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin.

“Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white.”

No word yet on if the skin rejuvenation also is responsible for the green contacts and straightened hair.
