Sosa expressed his regret, saying, "I never broke any laws but in hindsight, I made mistakes, and I apologize." This statement marked a significant moment in their 17-year estrangement.
Sosa added, "There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games," indicating the pressures he faced during his career.
The Cubs explicitly indicated a need for Sosa's apology before inviting him back to team functions, reflecting the lingering tensions from the steroid era.
Despite his extraordinary achievements, Sosa, along with others from the steroid era, remains outside the Hall of Fame due to ongoing scrutiny regarding performance-enhancing drugs.
