Cubs publicly reuniting with slugger Sammy Sosa at fan convention after he releases apology statement
Legendary Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa is being welcomed back by his former team following a long period of estrangement.
Sosa, who hit 545 home runs for the Cubs (which still stands as the club record), released an apology letter on Thursday regarding his alleged past use of performance-enhancing drugs.
"I left it all on the field for the Cubs and Cubs fans because I wanted to win and make the fans happy. I loved to see the fans at Wrigley in the Right Field Bleachers every home game. I understand why some players in my era don't always get the recognition that our stats deserve. There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games. I never broke any laws, but in hindsight I made mistakes and I apologize. We accomplished great things as a team, and I worked extremely hard in the batting cage to become a great hitter. Cubs' fans are the best in the world, and I hope that fans, the Cubs and I can all come together again and move forward. We can't change the past, but the future is bright. In my heart, I have always been a Cub and I can't wait to see Cubs fans again."
In response to that apology letter, team owner Tom Ricketts released a statement thanking Sosa for his apology and inviting him to the 2025 Cubs Convention, which takes place in January, for the first time.
I'm a casual fan, but don't think Tucker is the Astros best player. Definitely not over Altuve or Alvarez.Astros are lost. Blow it all up.
