Didnt think he was ever black. Thought he was Dominican? With that being said...WTH?!?!?! Did he squirt the teeth whitener all over his face?

NT03 · November 10, 2009

Yes he was never black or gay.. but now he looks gay

Mean Green 93-98 · November 10, 2009

Worst Look-a-Like thread ever.

People, you can be black AND hispanic. Hell, you can be a Japanese AND Mexican.

PS: The best cheese in Mexico is made by Mennonites, at least thats what my grandmother always said.

That's a crap load of flash.

Having said that, still so very creepy.

Green P1 · November 11, 2009

I don't buy the flash talk at all.

I'm still mad at the rangers for trading him away before he ever had any major playing time here, for a bunch of guys that nobody ever heard about afterwards. I didn't even know what color he was, because I mostly watched the Rangers on the radio.

I believe it was Harold Baines

I believe it was Harold Baines

Harold Baines and Scott Fletcher. As typical of the Rangers, bad trade.

Per baseball-reference.com

Sammy Sosa

July 29, 1989: Traded by the Texas Rangers with Wilson Alvarez and Scott Fletcher to the Chicago White Sox for Harold Baines and Fred Manrique.

So not the best trade, especially considering Harold Baines did make two more all star games after the trade - too bad they weren't with the Rangers. Harold Baines was traded during the 1990 season (basically playing for the Rangers for 1 year) for Joe Bitker and Scott Chiamparino. So basically Sosa and a decent pitcher turned into Jot Bitker and Scott Chiamparino...
