For corked bat. Apparently, he foul tipped a ball that broke his bat and they discovered it. Just heard it during the Astros' game.
CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs star Sammy Sosa was ejected in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against Tampa Bay right when umpires found cork in his shattered bat. The Cubs had runners at second and third when Sosa broke his bat with a grounder to second that at first appeared to drive in a run. But crew chief Tim McClelland gathered with the other three umpires to examine the bat. Cubs manager Dusty Baker came out and the umpires showed the bat to him. Mark Grudzielanek was sent back to third base, the run was wiped off the board and Sosa was ejected as he stood in the dugout.
Message to the MLB, How about giving the Astros the W for Saturday's game in Chicago. It was Sosa and his cheating bat that finally ended this critical game.
Well there goes the last of baseball's integrity--steroids, growth hormones, corked bat from a hero and its boring to boot.
This is just hilarious. A Corked bat? Sammy, Sammy, Sammy. Go Sammy it's ya birthday Gonna get tossed like it's ya birthday Lookin like an ass like it's ya birthday And you know we don't give a **** cuz you're a Cub-bay
