Sammy Sosa returned to Chicago for an autograph show and renewed his desire to reunite with the Cubs and end a 20-year cold war.
Sammy Sosa focuses on his bat after popping out to the catcher in the first inning against the Brewers, May 5, 2003. And the Chicago Cubs and Sammy Sosa remain estranged, just as they’ve been for the past two decades.
Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts has been adamant Sosa would not be welcomed back without some kind of admission of performance-enhancing drug use, and Sosa has been adamant about not admitting to using PEDs. “Chicago is always going to be Chicago,” he said then. “All the damage is done already. They destroyed me, saying I left because of this, because of that. It wasn’t true, but it’s over. It’s finished. I don’t want to talk about that no more.”
But that turned out to be false hope. When the Rickettses bought the Cubs in 2009, Sosa’s chances of returning were doomed.
