I can't even. This is amazing. Sammy Sosa is making an effort to get his name back out there, and that includes joining social media. He set up a Twitter account in October (it's confirmed as him), and a few weeks ago joined photo sharing site/social network for middle-aged women Pinterest. So forget whatever you're doing; go look at his Pinterest page.


Nothing but a wall of photos of Sosa posing in his home. There's Sammy in a suit! There's Sammy in a nice sweater! So carefree! So happy! And every single photo has the same caption:

"Sammy Sosa. Yes, I'm the real Sammy Sosa, and this is my Pinterest."

"Sammy Sosa. Yes, I'm the real Sammy Sosa, and this is my Pinterest."

"Sammy Sosa. Yes, I'm the real Sammy Sosa, and this is my Pinterest."

You want Sosa posing with his email? You got it. Sosa showing off his shiny desk? You're covered. A glamour shot that's better than any Cooperstown plaque? Right here, buddy.


In case you were wondering whether this is the real Sammy Sosa or if this is his Pinterest, Sosa tweeted out confirmation.

Oh Sammy, you're always welcome in the Hall of Fame of our hearts.

Update: Sosa's publicist tells RedEye, "We're learning social media, we're not pros at it yet, but we're working on it."
