Meeting between Sammy Sosa and Chicago Cubs

Few figures have had equal or greater meaning and relevance than Sammy Sosa for baseball but above all for the city of Chicago and for his team, the Cubs.

However, relations between the former Major League star and the Cubs did not end in the best way and for the moment there has been no approach to help remedy those past disagreements.

There are many who have called for Sammy Sosa’s return to Chicago, especially to Wrigley Field, and now a future member of the team’s Hall of Fame has joined those voices.

Such is the case of Aramis Ramírez, compatriot and former Cubs teammate of ‘El Bambino del Caribe’, who will soon be inducted into the Hall of Fame. His former franchise points to a reunion between Sosa and the Chicago team.

“Of course yes, of course yes,” the former third baseman responded when asked if he would like to see Sosa also in the Cubs Hall of Fame. “I was a Sammy fan when he was in the minor leagues. “It was an honor for me to play with Sammy Sosa for two years in Chicago, 2003 and 2004.”

“I think there is a need to improve relationships and I would like to have Sammy as a (Cubs Hall of Fame) teammate,” Aramis Ramirez said.

The former Dominican third baseman spent nine of his eighteen seasons in the Major Leagues with the Chicago Cubs and the team recently made the announcement that next summer he will be inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame alongside the former Cubs pitcher. . from Chicago.

Sosa and Ramírez were a lethal offensive duo at Wrigley Field for a couple of seasons, highlighting 2004 when they hit 35 and 36 home runs respectively. In February 2005, Sosa was traded to the Baltimore Orioles. Ramírez remained with the Cubs until 2011.
