"He probably only alters one or two at a time. No way he'd do it to all 20 of his bats, it takes a lot of effort. So even if the others are not corked, it's not a sign of innocence."

That's for sure!

I'll go further and say Sosa's finished.

Even in "forgiving" (it was only a little piece of cork, or it depends on the definition of cork) America, this assh@l& is toast.

I also should add that I don't buy the notion that he did it for batting practice. You practice with the bat you use in a game. Had the league known he had an illegal bat in the dugout, it would have banned the bat, because the temptation is too great to use it in a key situation. I don't think he took the chance of an illegal bat just to hit homers in batting practice. Maybe he had it made special for the Home Run Derby, and then decided to keep using it.

If people are willing to forgive Pete Rose, then Sosa ought to have nothing to worry about. [Says something abut morality in present day America, doesn't it?]
