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

Still, when the biggest star of the Cubs Convention is (allegedly) a former roider who is (positively) in denial, it might suggest a franchise angling for something. So when Cubs fans ended up cheering Sosa at the convention as if he were a divine being who dropped down for a surprise visit … well, you win, Tom Ricketts.
