Sammy Sosa turning white!!

[Upton]

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."

2. No..

I just find the whole thing rather odd.

A skin rejuvenation process? I don't know..

His hair appears to have undergone a transformation too.

4. Well, as to his hair, have you heard of something called aging??

3. He'll conflate it to Bonds not turning white...

After all---he's a proud member of the Dumb Motherfuckers club.

5. What's the name of the disease where the skin starts getting blotches of white...

...you lose the pigmentation, and eventually there are so many blotches you are essentially white white white! Bet this was happening to Sammy on his face and he decided to speed up the process instead of having blotches on his face.

Looks like he's getting ready to take Fred McGriff's place doing Tom Emanski instructional videos.
