Let’s play two … and invite Sammy!
You don’t want to admit it but at one time you loved Sammy Sosa. It’s alright, most of us did. I mean, what was not to like about him? His home runs were massive, his sprint to the outfield was cute and he had an adorably goofy smile. Unfortunately corking a bat, cutting our of games early and suddenly forgetting English kept Sosa from his rightful place in Cubs lore. Well enough is enough. Ernie Banks wants Sosa back in Chicago. OK, he doesn’t want the Cubs to actually sign Sosa but Mr. Cub himself believes the Cubs should welcome back Sosa with open arms. Heck, he’d even like Sosa to throw out a ceremonial first pitch just like Bill Buckner did on Monday in Boston. Hey, if Red Sox fans could forgive him, why can’t the North Siders do the same for Sosa, right? You know, because committing an error is just as bad as being suspected of cheating. Or corking a bat.
