I think it’s really sad to be honest. This guy has the million dollar smile, he was a great role model for the kids, he had a squeaky clean image, he runs hard to his postion before the inning starts… he just really couldnt do anything wrong. Then his bat broke. I really dont know what to belive. I honestly dont think he is a cheater but how can you be so sure now. I think back to the race he and Mark had a few years back and wonder “did he have a corked bat then?”. Probably not. But now it’s in the back of every baseball fans head and when he is talked about years from now - this inncedent will surley come up. Baiscly - he screwed himself. ---

he cheated! He cheated on National TV! He should be suspended for life! Even if he just owned it, and never used it, it is still illegal to own… Tuknuk: if it were a Hockey player who’s stick was curved too much, would you be so lenient? He should be banned! Much worse than Pete Rose, and he is banned… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

i agree with rev. but it seems like most of the “famous” people find their way out of mostly everything, either with money or something else. but i have a feeling that his fans lost all respect for him. * * * Do you think that he was using a corked bat when he was in the home run race with Mark Miguire (SP)??? ---

He admitted to doing so… Now Sosa… He should have to give back 1/3 of his salary for the past 5 years, only to a homeless shelter in Chicago… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

it’d be great if they started punishing professional athletes and famous people as if they were still normal citizens!! ---

like Mike Tyson should be charged with cannabilism(sp) for biting Holyfields ear off. haha. anyways, i think Sosa made a mistake, but he was asking for it. He should have never had a corked bat in the first place. Atheletes already get paid a lot, and there are people all across america that admire them, and being stupid sets a bad example. ---

That, IMO, is the bottom line… I swear, if you guys found out that 2A used a template to design their site, you would be talking of a lynching. It is the same thing. Sammy cheated. Sammy! … Of all the people who don’t need extra feet on the ball, Sammy! Replode: maybe not canibalism, but assault, violation of parole, back in the slammer, at least… Rev ---

i don’t think he meant to do it. pretty obvious by his reactions and statements afterwards. He was in total shock. I believe he cheated, and should have been ejected regardless of intent. But I don’t believe for one second he’s hit any hr’s with a corked bat. I’m not even a sosa fan really.
