Sammy "The Stiff" Sosa sued for $203,000 in Dominican court.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP)—Sammy Sosahttp://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4344/news;_ylt=AuGKrx_PFU3G.GKKJsguk5.pu7YF is being sued for $203,000 by a businessman in the Dominican Republic who says the former Major Leaguer owes him for—among other things—commission on a house sale.


Carim Abu Nabaa alleges that Sosa has not paid him a commission of $150,000 on a house sale, $43,000 for a luxury watch, and $10,000 for getting Reggaeton singer Don Omar to perform at Sosa’s 41st birthday party.



In legal documents obtained by The Associated Press, Sosa has been ordered to appear in a Dominican court on Dec. 2.


Sosa played for the Chicago Cubs from 1992 to 2004 and became one of the league’s best hitters. He also played for the Texas Rangers, Chicago White Sox and Baltimore Orioles.


Calls to Sosa’s representatives in the Dominican Republic were not returned.
Jose Enrique Alevante, a lawyer for Abu Nabaa, told AP his client helped Sosa sell a $3 million house in the Dominican Republic to the actor Vin Diesel and that he was owed a 5 percent commission on the sale.

Not that I really care, but:
1. Why wouldn't commission be paid out of closing?
2. Why would he give him a watch without getting paid?

No we know why he wants to turn white; he blew his money and is running from collectors.

My guess is maybe he was a buyers agent? but Sosa wouldn't be responsible for that.. I didn't know you could get a house in the dominican for more than 150k
:lolBIG:

just kidding I've been to the DR before... not sure how that worked out with him owing twenty large to some schmuck that fronted him cash for a watch and a birthday performance... maybe he figures if he's white, he's alright. I'd like to see him hop outta this predicament
