Sammy Sosa wasn’t invited to Wrigley Field’s 100th birthday party Wednesday and the former MVP agrees with me that it was a petty move by the Cubs.
Sosa talked to Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes about the situation, saying:I think there is something that has to be resolved. If there is something to clarify, we will sit down and clear it up. Time has given me the maturity to reflect upon many things, including knowing that one side doesn’t have to be right all the time.
I should have been there; I would have liked to have been there. The Cubs know where to find me, and I hope to have the chance to clear up any misunderstanding.
“Misunderstanding” is an odd way to describe why the Cubs don’t want Sosa around, but then again the notion that the Cubs need him to “apologize” before he’s allowed back into the franchise’s good graces seems similarly silly.
He’s one of the best players in Cubs history and hit nearly 300 home runs at Wrigley Field. Pretending none of that happened is absurd.
