Sammy Sosa recently threw himself a big 46th birthday bash, and photos from the event surfaced online, and the baseball great's appearance shocked some fans. Back in 2009, Sammy admitted to using a skin cream to soften his skin, and told ESPN that the product led to a lighter skin tone. 

The Dominican baller's skin at his birthday bash led to fans likening Sammy to a vampire. Some online users said that the former Cubs player looked unrecognizable compared to his baseball heyday.
