MLB baseball star Sammy Sosa claims he's most definitely not suffering from the same skin condition that the late Michael Jackson suffered from. Rumors have recently surfaced that the 41 year old athlete had been bleaching his face thus Sosa felt it necessary to clear them up and that he did. "I use a cream to keep my skin smooth and soft. I apply it before I go to bed," he told Univision. "When I was playing for Chicago all those years, I was in the sun a lot for 1 o'clock games," said Sosa, who turns 41 tomorrow. "The flashes (from the cameras) also made my skin look lighter. I'm surprised with the controversy this has caused." You can check out the before and after pictures inside!
