Sosa, awaiting appeal decision,,, gets corks thrown at him in Baltimore

UncleButternutts · Jun 11, 2003

Hours after appealing his eight-game suspension for using a corked bat, Sosa went 2-for-5 with a double Tuesday night, scoring Chicago's first run in a 4-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.

His first road game since being caught with an illegal bat last week featured warm applause when he went to right field in the first inning. It also included a fan who ran on the field and bowed to him, and some others in the bleachers who threw cork at him in the outfield.

"You know, I got to deal with that," Sosa said. "Some day, I'm probably going to get tired of it."

Didn't they say he hasn't hit a homerun in his last 60 at bats? LOL. Think he has 1 in his last 104 AB's.

Even if it has nothing to do with it, it will look bad to see a prolonged homerless streak kick in right now.

His appeal was decided..

1 less game (now 7 games) starts TONIGHT.

Thanks, just saw that.
Not much difference, but, one game is a plus for Sammy i guess.
