Sammy Sosa was a legendary Chicago Cubs outfielder who remains to this day, an indelible part of sports history, with over 600 career home runs he was also the first player to hit 66 home runs in a single season! Slammin’ Sammy captivated people all over the united states with his ability to launch the ball hundreds of feet through the air with mighty swings of his bat, but his career was also marred by accusations of foul play. In 2003 Sosa was at-bat against the Tampa Bay Devils when he hit a ball so hard that it snapped his bat in two! Even though he was known for his mighty bat blasts, this was still a bit suspicious to officials who retrieved the pieces of Sosa’s bat and quickly discovered that it had been hollowed out and filled with cork. This highly illegal practice is used to lighten the bat, meaning that a powerful batter can achieve greater speeds with less resistance. In the aftermath, nearly 100 bats belonging to Sosa were tested and no others were ever found to contain cork, according to him, he used the corked bat in practice and never meant to bring it on to the field that day. While no one may ever know for sure, the incident left a permanent blemish on the career of a baseball legend.
9. Sal Alosi
On December 12 2010 the New York Jets squared off against the Miami Dolphins, when with 2:58 seconds left in the 3rd quarter, New York Jet’s strength & conditioning coach did something unthinkable. As #28 Miami’s gunner, Nolan Caroll was speeding along the sidelines Alosi decided to seize the opportunity to stick out his knee, effectively tripping Caroll and sending him tumbling to the ground. The 203-pound cornerback laid on the ground for several moments as doctors came to assess him, in the end, he was alright and was able to return to the game, however when the footage was reexamined Alosi’s actions came to light and he was fined $25,000 and suspended for the remainder of the 2010 season.
