Say It Ain?t So, Sammy!

Chicago Cubs outfielder "Slammin" Sammy Sosa is himself being slammed by critics who complain that the charitable foundation bearing his name has been neither charitable nor even much of a foundation. Fortune magazine reports that the Sammy Sosa Charitable Foundation, founded in 1998 to help hurricane victims in Sosa?s native Dominican Republic, is now "broke and in disarray." Despite the fact that the popular Sosa is in the middle of a four-year $42.5 million contract, records indicate that he has never been much of a contributor to the foundation that bears his name. One of the organization?s founders, Arturo Sandoval, now alleges that Sammy used foundation funds to buy a sports car for his brother. Sandoval, who was also retained as a paid consultant by the foundation, has since been fired, according to Forbes, but contends that "someone has to clarify with Sammy that he cannot take charitable contributions from the United States and directly deposit [them] into his business account in the Dominican Republic." (A current foundation director dismisses Sandoval as "a disgruntled employee.") In the meantime, thousands of pounds of relief supplies collected by the organization languish in warehouses until the foundation?s finances and management are brought back to something resembling major league shape.
