If Sammy didn't make the appeal, the league office would've for him so he could play the Yankees, anyone could see that.

And you're all forgetting the nature of the sport itself here. Baseball's history is filled with cheating. Nobody cares this much that guys like Gaylord Perry used spitballs.

Stop singling out Sosa as if he's killed someone and is telling kids that it's fun.
