MLB security confiscated 76 of Sosa's other bats after Tuesday's game in which he was caught using a corked bat. The bats were X-rayed and found to be untainted. Of the bat from Tuesday's game, Sandy Alderson, executive vice president of baseball operations for Major League Baseball, said "there was a foreign substance in it." Alderson would not say whether that substance was cork.
"I said (Tuesday) that I used the bat for BP," Sosa said before Wednesday's game. "They took 76 of my bats and everything came out clean. I'm still going to take the blame. I apologize. I'm just going to go out there and play baseball."
