Bio: J.L. Sosa is a reporter for the award-winning Hutchinson Leader, a weekly paper in west central Minnesota. His real name is Jorge Luis Sosa, but he goes by J.L. Sosa so you won’t confuse him with Jorge Bolivar Sosa, the baseball player. Jorge Bolivar Sosa is, like, six feet, two inches tall and weighs 180 pounds, while J.L. Sosa is just 5?10? and weighs maybe 150 pounds, soaking wet. But don’t underestimate the power of J.L. Sosa. If you dare to insult Hello Kitty, Drew Barrymore or Stanley Kubrick in his prescence, he will unleash a swift and bloody vengeance upon you, the likes of which has not been seen since the Old Testament.
