I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who was a controversial figure due to a corked-bat incident?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Despite the fact that the Cubs had won 89 games, this fallout was decidedly unlovable, as the Cubs traded superstar Sammy Sosa after he had left the season's final game early and then lied about it publicly.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
