The Cubs Convention, which returns this weekend, is an event Fergie Jenkins looks forward to all year.
The Hall of Fame pitcher uses it as an opportunity to catch up with old teammates and friends, such as Billy Williams and Andre Dawson. He also likes to visit with the next generation of Cubs players and interact with fans.
“It kind of makes everyone excited for the season to start,” he said.
But there’s one former player who certainly won’t be there: Sammy Sosa.
Jenkins knew Sosa well. Jenkins was a coach with the Rangers and Cubs when Sosa played for them.
