Sammy Sosa is undergoing skin rejuvenation, and that combined with the lighting of the famous photograph made his skin look very light.
Polihronis, the former Cubs Care/Community Relations manager for the team, said Sosa told her he has used moisturizing treatment at night on his face.
“He has always been concerned with the way he looks,” she said. “Probably just bad timing going to an awards show.”
Among the possible side effects for some laser skin rejuvenation methods include discoloration of the skin. The treated area may become lighter or darker in appearance.
“He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years (of playing baseball) in the sun,” Polihronis said. “It did come out looking weird (in the picture).”
I always thought he was so rugged.
