With the controversy surrounding Bonds, I'm wondering what some of the baseball fans on this forum think of Sosa. Personally, I'm suspicious of his most recent comeback. In 2005, his last Major League season, this guy couldn't catch up with a fastball. Pitchers continually challenged him down the middle of the plate and he was unable to make anything of it.
His stats are here - http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/sosasa01.shtml
What we're seeing, though, is an aging guy (38 now) who, all of a sudden can hit again. This is the same guy who certainly lies in the shadow of steroids vis-a-vis his home run derbies in the early 2000s. This is also a guy who was caught corking his bat.
I just cannot believe these doubts are not resurfacing, now that he's "magically" resurrected his career.
