Sammy Sosa Welcomed Back to Wrigley Field for First Time in 21 Years

  • Sammy Sosa made his first official return to Wrigley Field in Chicago on Friday for the Cubs' home game against the Seattle Mariners after over 20 years away.
  • Sosa's return followed a winter reconciliation with the Cubs organization after a decade of estrangement partly linked to allegations of performance-enhancing drug use.
  • During his visit, Sosa received a warm ovation, met current players including Pete Crow-Armstrong, and was greeted warmly by Cubs owner Tom Ricketts.
  • Sosa hit 545 home runs with the Cubs over 13 seasons, including a franchise-record 66 homers in 1998 when he won the National League MVP award, and apologized for past mistakes without admitting PED use.
  • Sammy Sosa is scheduled to be honored this year with an induction into the Cubs’ Hall of Fame, marking a renewed connection with the franchise despite previous controversies.
