On Friday, it became clear that Sammy Sosa is no longer estranged from this organization. He'll be a part of the future of the Cubs organization in the years to come.

Sammy Sosa finally returned to Wrigley Field after more than two decades and Cubs fans welcomed him back with a huge ovation.

Sosa, now 56, played his final game with the Cubs at Wrigley on Oct. 2, 2004, when he homered and had two hits in an 8-6 loss to Atlanta. During his years with the Cubs, Sosa appeared to bulk up drastically and was a headliner in a generation of baseball's biggest names linked to performance-enhancing drugs.
