Jerrod at MidwestSportsFan.com tipped me to this recent photo of Sammy Sosa:

Looks like a case of Vitiligo to me, but I’m no expert. More pics after the jump.

George King of the NEW YORK POST notes today that Joe Girardi told WFAN-AM in New York yesterday that he now wants to wear #28:

(Is it all about the team? Or the manager?)
Yesterday, on his WFAN gig, the manager strongly hinted he will wear No. 28 next season to signify a push toward winning […]

With Hideki Matsui your World Series MVP, the mad search is one for photos of Matsui’s wife.

Why so? The unintentionally amusing depiction of her he presented to reporters after his marriage in 2008. I was sent a couple photos last night that may well be her. Scary part: The illustration may actually give us confirmation.
