It was all over ESPN yesterday. It was mentioned on local news in NYC. It was on nj.com, which is a collective of a bunch of New Jersey newspapers. I saw it referenced on NBC Sportsnet. It was trending on twitter. Yes, it got press. How much anybody actually cared doesn't really matter, it was a sports story that received attention And as others have noted, the idea that Sosa was invited and told them to pound sand does not add up.
