Both Sosa and former first baseman Derrek Lee will be 2025 inductees, the team announced during its Cubs Convention on Friday
A “very special” edition of the Cubs Convention kicked off Friday with the return of Sammy Sosa from Cubbie exile after 20 years, the introduction of new star Kyle Tucker and powder blue alternate jerseys and the same old hopes and dreams of the last 39 years.
When Sosa was introduced on stage as the newest member of the Cubs’ Hall of Fame, the fans rose from their seats, screaming his name. He ran across the stage, and danced to the song, “Let Me Clear My Throat,’’ waving a small American flag, throwing his arms up in the air, and cupping his ears.
The Chicago Cubs opened the door for one of their greatest stars to return to the franchise in 2024. In 2025, they'll honor him like the legend he is.
