The Chicago Cubs welcomed Sammy Sosa back at the Cubs Convention on Friday after he apologized last month. But the retired slugger failed to offer clarity on his “mistakes.”

When Sosa was introduced on stage as the newest member of the Cubs’ Hall of Fame, the fans rose from their seats, screaming his name. He ran across the stage, and danced to the song, “Let Me Clear My Throat,’’ waving a small American flag, throwing his arms up in the air, and cupping his ears.

You’d have to be a cynic of the highest order to suspect that the Cubs welcomed Sammy Sosa back for selfish, calculated reasons.

Sammy Sosa and former first baseman Derrek Lee will be inducted into the Chicago Cubs' Hall of Fame, the team announced one month after Sosa apologized for 'mistakes' he made during his MLB career.

When Sosa was asked specifically about apologizing for PEDs, he said, “No.” He said he was apologizing to the fans.

Cubs legend Sammy Sosa hadn’t specified which “mistakes” he was apologizing for in the statement he issued last month, the one that paved the way for reconciliation between the former face of the franchise and team ownership. When asked Friday if he was referring to the use of performance-enhancing drugs, he said “No, no.”

Sammy Sosa's 13-year stint with the Chicago Cubs came to an end after the 2004 season. During that run, he won MVP (1998), led the MLB in home runs twice (2000, '02), won six Silver Sluggers and made seven All-Star Games. Now, more than 20 years after he left the Windy City, Sosa will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame.
