Race and sports

How long before someone makes it into a race issue, saying that Sosa is being persecuted for being black? Either that, or they are going to mandate corked bats for all "minority" baseball players to make the playing field "level"....

ESPN.com - MLB - Recap - Devil Rays at Cubs - 06/03/2003

Once Sammy Sosa was caught using a corked bat, there was one big question: Was he cheating when he hit any of those 505 home runs?

The Chicago Cubs' star slugger, 17th on the career home-run list, was ejected in the first inning of Tuesday night's 3-2 win over the Tampa Bay Devil Rays after umpires found cork in his shattered bat.

"I use that bat for batting practice," Sosa said. "It's something that I take the blame for. It's a mistake, I know that. I feel sorry. I just apologize to everybody that are embarrassed."
