Chicago Cubs: Looking back at some awkward homecomings

Chicago Cubs fans certainly do not forget their hometown heroes, even after they have left. In recent years we have seen the likes of Jake Arrieta, Starlin Castro and Dexter Fowler return to Wrigley Field in an opposing uniform for the first time to a standing ovation. Who could forget 2009 when Kerry Wood returned in an Indians uniform to a roaring ovation?

Unfortunately, not all homecomings have been warm and fuzzy at Wrigley Field. Some former fan-favorites have returned to Wrigley only to get greeted by either boo’s, mixed reactions or just a lukewarm reaction as a whole.
