After 21 years, the Cubs finally welcomed Sammy Sosa back to Wrigley Field last Friday, having accepted his “apology” for whatever he did while hitting all those home runs, which he claims was nothing.
Whatever the case, fans celebrated Sosa’s return with ovations and chants of “Sam-my, Sam-my!” just like in the old days.
But there’s someone else with whom the Cubs should make up after 21 years. He brought joy to Cubs fans for much longer than Sosa did, albeit from the broadcast booth. He delivered impeccable analysis, a discerning eye and predictive powers that remain unmatched.
