| 0:00.0 | Sammy Sosa, who has disappeared for many, many years, he also looks very different. |
| 0:06.0 | And I don't want to make any comments on it because if it is health related, I don't want to mock it. |
| 0:11.0 | Because I really don't know what it is, but his skin tone looks completely different. |
