Sammy Sosa Reaches Out to Cubs Fans with Apology, Gets Invitation to 2025 Cubs Convention
Sammy Sosa, the former Chicago Cubs slugger, has not been invited back to Wrigley Field or any Cubs-related events since his retirement in 2007. However, he has now reached out to Cubs fans with an apology and has been invited to the 2025 Cubs Convention.
In a letter, Sosa admitted that he “made mistakes” and acknowledged that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his career. He stated that he never broke any laws, but in hindsight, he regrets his actions and apologizes for them.
Sosa’s apology and willingness to acknowledge his mistakes have been met with praise from Cubs ownership and fans. Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said that Sosa’s statement was appreciated and that he plans to invite him to the 2025 Cubs Convention.
Sosa’s invitation comes after years of speculation and controversy surrounding his career. He is the only player in MLB history to hit at least 60 home runs in three separate seasons, and he retired with 609 home runs in his career, which ranks him ninth all time.
However, Sosa’s career has been tainted by allegations of performance-enhancing drug use, which have kept him out of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Despite this, he remains a beloved figure among Cubs fans, who will be thrilled to see him return to Wrigley Field.
Sosa’s apology and invitation to the 2025 Cubs Convention are a significant step towards reconciliation and a chance for fans to move forward and heal.
