sammy sosa cheats

primetime21 · Jun 3, 2003

Its not enough that he has arms bigger than most peoples legs he also needs to cheat to hit home runs. You would think that with the number of broken bats you see during a game a guy would not be dumb enough to cork his bat.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa was ejected in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against Tampa Bay right when umpires found cork in his shattered bat.

The Cubs had runners at second and third when Sosa broke his bat with a grounder to second that at first appeared to drive in a run.

But crew chief Tim McClelland gathered with the other three umpires to examine the bat. Cubs manager Dusty Baker came out and the umpires showed the bat to him.

Mark Grudzielanek was sent back to third base, the run was wiped off the board and Sosa was ejected as he stood in the dugout.

Rockafella Skank · Jun 3, 2003

It's no mystery! He has been "Cheating" for years!

But then again who does not cheat?

But dam him to hell because his cards aint worth shit now! And I

Well the non Penis kind you drill a hole, hollow it out, fill it with cork in the sweet spot and cover it up! Works great the balls really jump off the bat, that is untill you get caught! It's a real career killer! It's been a long time since someone has been caught!

haha. so true.

wasnt the last time someone got caught over 20 year ago? it was the A's versus someone.

DcupSheepNipples · Jun 3, 2003

News has been slow lately! But now! Wohooo we get to talk about Cork Bats and Will this Kill Sammy's career etc! It's funny and sad at the same time!

"Batters swinging at baseballs have to swing the big ol' bat fast, if they want good things to happen. Heavy bats make for hard work. For the last 100 years, players have tried to quicken their bats by breaking the rules. It's tricky, and it doesn't work very well. And as if I've got to tell you, it's science.

For years, perhaps as long as the game's been played, players have tried to add a little more spring to their swing by filling their bats with springy cork, and sealing them up cleanly in hopes that no one would notice.

Why cork? If you've ever fingered a flat-headed thumb tack, or muscled a handle-headed push pin into a cork bulletin board, you've probably noticed that the material, cork, is soft and spongy. Similarly, if you've ever knocked your knees with an ash wood baseball bat, you've undoubtedly noticed that it's not especially soft. It's bruisingly hard, very hard. So, it might stand to reason that a hard bat isn't as resilient as a rod of cork. A ball bouncing on cork might rebound more robustly than one knocking on wood."

nope ... albert belle was popped in 1994. i seem to recall one or two more recent than that, too.

a corked bat also helps with bat speed, which is as important as power for home run hitters.

p0ink · Jun 3, 2003

bush knew! the democrats demand a full investigation.

Bulldog_10 · Jun 3, 2003

When was the last time someone was caught? I don't think it was that long ago.

Albert Belle in '94

Nobody with Hall of Fame material in recent times! I forget who and when with the corked bats, Pin tar etc! But I'm sure ESPN will refresh our memories in the coming weeks!

ZKaudio · Jun 3, 2003

you'd cheat too if you could barely speak english.

KillahBee · Jun 3, 2003

and George Brett with the pine tar in I think 82 or 83

That was bullshit though...who cares how far the pine tar comes up on the bat? That sucked.

Pine Tar VS Corked Bat! Corked Bat wins every time! Now Sandpaper or Pitching Substances are a close call VS a Corked Bat!

That is close! But sandpaper, that shit doesn't happen anymore...But they did just say that alot of people cheat in baseball, it's just that no one gets caught.

There was also chris sabo in the 90's.

As the moral of the story goes your not cheating unless you get caught! Getting caught sorta Sucks! Plus it does not help him with all the inflated long ball numbers he has had lately! Now all the questions he would not answer, he will have to answer in some fashion now!

It's kind of already been cleared up. He said he uses corked bats at exhibitions, and he just picked the corked one up by accident. And they're already starting to forgive him! A guy on ESPN was just like, that's a valid, honest answer...blah blah blah. But then the other guy said, "why the hell would sammy even have the corked bat in the stadium if it wasn't an exhibition." I hope he doesn't get away with just saying it was an accident.

He'll probably get the usual 10 day suspension, or something like that.

That's true...wouldn't it be great if all of a sudden when he came back he only had warning track power!?! Then what would happen?

You gotta be strong to carry those bats (except the corked ones

)

fogg88 · Jun 3, 2003

You can do a good job of hiding your corking-job by writing "fuck face" on the bottom of your bat:

(...anyone around here old enough to remember this 'scandal' ?)

Rockafella Skank · Jun 3, 2003

i remember. i'm not a card collector but it's one i wish i had. not for any value but just because.

Bulldog_10 · Jun 3, 2003

I remember that, wasn't too long ago. I think my brother has one of those cards.

Guys have been corking bats forever, and I don't think it's gonna change anytime soon.

My dad happens to own one (not sure where he got it) and its very fun to hit with. :fro:

ANABOLICK1 · Jun 4, 2003

Someone should look into all the bats that were saved from homeruns Sammy's hit in the past.
I love hearing shit like this...

runner · Jun 4, 2003

is corking a "worse" offense than juicing? are they both cheating?

some of my friends contend that i am cheating 'cuz i've done AAS...and my sport is tennis. it hardly seems like it gives me a HUGE advantage in that game...but do they have a point?

Who's gonna bust open those bats though? They're probably worth some money. But they DID take all of his bats that he currently uses though.

As we speak they are sawing the bat that sammy hit his 498th homer with in half...we'll see what they find. The suspense is killing me. ESPN just showed them started to saw into it, then cut to commercial...those bastards!
