Sammy Sosa, 15 years ago was the reigning MVP, sure fire HOF, atop the sports marketing world.

Now he is white guy from the Dominican Republic, that can't speak English, used a cork bat, PEDs, and the only way he gets to Cooperstown is if he buys a ticket.

Why's that, just curious?

Personally, I don't think he's really acting any differently, but lots of people are finally coming around and starting to like him, i thought that was interesting.

LeBron.

He spent the early part of his career trying to please everybody. Now that he no longer does that, I respect him more.

Bron.

Hated guy in Cleveland.

When everyone started hating on him for nothing but sour grapes I actually started to like him.
