1. It's worthy of commentary.
Tanning isn't quite the same as skin bleaching.

2. He is Dominican...
Some possible explanations:
1) Long hours in the sun and a light skinned brown person can get really tan.
2) Bleaching??? so? who cares? It's his life.
3) Vitiglio can occur in any skin type. so who knows?

Who cares? He looks all right to me.

3. All that matters is Sammy likes it
"He has always been concerned with the way he looks"

I truly hope he doesn't become obsessed that way Michael Jackson did.

Sammy Sosa says skin rejuvenation process reason his skin appears lighter
Maintains photo makes it look more pronounced than it is
Sammy Sosa tells friends he is comfortable in his own skin.

But a widely circulated photo of the former Cubs slugger makes his skin color appear several shades lighter.

"I'm not trying to be Michael Jackson," Sosa told former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis.
