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.”

Sammy Sosa headed up the steps and onto the stage, clutching a small American flag in his right hand. The former Cubs icon beamed as he jogged across the platform, reaching down to high-five some fans as he soaked in the cheers and familiar chants of his name.
