Say It Isn't So, Sammy

Sosa: Cosmetic cream caused lighter skin tone

This is very disappointing to me.

When Tom and I moved to Chicago, Sammy Sosa was a great ball player on the Cubs. For me, he represented the true passion of baseball. I constantly told Tom's father how great Sammy Sosa was.

When I was pregnant with our first, Tom's father said in an elementary rhythmic tone, "What, are you going to name your baby Sammy Sosa?"

Kind of. Sam was born on June 26, 2003. Five months after Tom's dad passed away.

Say it isn't so Sammy. Your old self held more passion for me.
