In case you just had to know why Sammy Sosa's skin suddenly looks so sickly, Sosa has his answer: skin cream.
"I'm not a racist," Sosa said. Sosa, in his first public remarks since the famous photos became public, said he's not trying to look like Michael Jackson:
"What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don't think I look like Michael Jackson," he said.
Good news, then, and I suppose we can all go back to not caring whatsoever about skin cream, Sammy Sosa's skin tone, Sammy Sosa, or -- yeah, why not? -- Michael Jackson. There, I said it! I'm sick of Michael Jackson. Don't look at me like that.
