Did Sammy Sosa cork his bat?
When somebody gets caught breaking the rules, the questions remain for a lifetime. Sosa was discovered to have used a corked bat during a game against Tampa Bay on June 3rd, 2003 when the bat shattered and was examined by the home plate umpire after the Tampa Bay catcher picked up a piece of the bat, noticed the cork, and threw the bat at the feet of the umpire. He was ejected from that game and MLB subsequently tested 76 other bats that Sosa used for cork. All were clean. He said that he only used the corked bat in batting practice to entertain the fans and mistakenly picked it up when it was his turn to bat. Sosa apologized for the mistake, regardless, he was suspended for seven games. Whether he used a corked bat at other times during his career ... we will never know. But the questions will always remain.
