Like a tape measure home run, time has a way of flying. A perfect example? It’s been 17 years since Sammy Sosa last made a trip to Chicago, until now.

“Last time I was here was in 2007 when I was playing with the Texas Rangers,” Sosa said during an appearance Friday morning on The Steve Cochran Show .

“Back in Chicago, for me, is something incredible,” Sosa said with a smile. “I feel great. To be back here, feel the love, all the fans that were always behind me, I’m grateful.” “In the past, probably, I did it my way, and maybe I made some mistakes,” Sosa admitted on the radio. “But now that I have my two feet on the ground, I’m a better person to handle any conversation.”

Despite that, he hopes his relationship with the Cubs can eventually be patched-up. He even said during his appearance on The Steve Cochran Show, “We’re getting close.”
