Remember Sammy Sosa?
Of course you do. The man’s a legend.
This is what the Sammy Sosa you REMEMBER looked like:

And…um… here’s what he looks like now:

WHAT KIND OF DEVIL WIZARDRY IS THIS?!
I don’t like it. Not one bit.
My heart also breaks for him… it’s so sad to think despite his tremendous success he was uncomfortable enough in his own skin to do whatever the heck THIS is to himself…
Baseball legend Sammy Sosa has caused a social media meltdown after he was spotted with even lighter skin.
Photos of the former Chicago Cubs right fielder dabbing in London on Tuesday show how much he has transformed since retiring from the big leagues in 2007.
The 48-year-old Dominican born athlete first appeared ‘lighter’ in 2009 and since then it seems the melanin in his skin has all but depleted.
In 2009, when fans first noticed his appearance changed, he had to address some of the reports in the media.
According to an interview with Univision’s Primer Impacto, Sosa did verify that he used a cream that softened and lightened his skin every night before bed.
‘It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some,’ he said.
‘It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.
‘What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don’t think I look like Michael Jackson.’
The MLB superstar most notably played with the Chicago Cubs from 1992 to 2004.
Is the cream made by Clorox?! Because ….dang.
It appears that Sammy Sosa has become the new Michael Jackson. Kind of creepy. #darktolight pic.twitter.com/T2CKNDzt9s

ALSO: the dab is dead. I repeat: THE DAB IS DEAD. The utter uncoolness of it being done by Sammy Sosa in the streets of London while Uncle Fester in a wig has killed it. Tell a friend to tell a friend. pic.twitter.com/ghIn6QQtMi
