Sammy Sosa Invited to 2025 Cubs Convention

Sammy Sosa, the former Chicago Cubs star, has publicly acknowledged past mistakes linked to performance-enhancing drugs, expressing regrets in a statement that has led to a potential reconciliation with the team. Cubs owner Tom Ricketts welcomed Sosa’s outreach, highlighting his passion for the game and extending an invitation for him to attend the 2025 Cubs Convention. Sosa's career, marred by doping allegations, saw him hit 545 of his 609 career home runs with the Cubs, notably during the 1998 home run race with Mark McGwire. While he previously denied using PEDs, his recent comments mark a significant shift in tone. The Cubs aim to move forward together with Sosa, who remains a fan favorite despite his controversial legacy. His Hall of Fame aspirations remain uncertain, given his struggles to gain voter support amid the doping allegations.
