IS SOSA READY TO DO A SLAMMIN' SAMMY ON CYBERSQUATTER?

            Sammy Sosa's marketing agent, IMS' Mark Leonard, "is
     less than amused" with the actions of construction project
     manager Raymond McElroy, who has registered the URL address
     sammysosa.com, according to Mark Brown of the CHICAGO SUN-
     TIMES.  McElroy uses the address to generate hits for a Web
     site selling a computer program on vitamins.  Leonard: "It
     should be Sammy's property.  You should have the legal right
     to your name and identity.  [McElroy] is profiting off
     Sammy's name."  Leonard says that he "has no intention" of
     paying McElroy for the rights to the URL, and he "would not
     rule out bringing legal action to stake Sosa's claim." 
     Brown adds that the "laws governing domain name registration
     are still evolving, and at this point, cybersquatters appear
     to be within their rights" (CHICAGO SUN-TIMES, 7/28).
