Since the Chicago Cubs’ Sammy Sosa has retired, 11 players have worn the No. 21–and three players for multiple years.
Oh, Sammy. Since the Chicago Cubs’ Sammy Sosa was ‘run out of town’ for having a boom box, it was complicated. Eleven players have worn the No. 21, three for multiple years (Jason Marquis, Tyler Colvin and Junior Lake.) So in 16 years, 11 have worn the number. Bitter much? I’ll give you the answer. Yes.
Lake and Colvin were the ‘cream of the crop’ as far as Cubs prospects had gone.
