Polling Place: Welcome back, Sammy Sosa? That’s what voters say, anyway

The question never seems to go away: Will the Cubs ever open their arms to former slugger Sammy Sosa?

It never goes away even though the answer never changes: No, chairman Tom Ricketts says, not before Sosa — who homered 545 times as a Cub — takes a walk on the contrite side about his role in baseball’s steroid era.

But forget “will they?” Should they?

Should the Cubs welcome Sosa back?

That question was at the heart of a “Polling Place” — your home for Sun-Times sports polls on Twitter — that was all about Mark McGwire’s co-star in the 1998 home run race.
