It may be hard for non-Millennials to believe, but Sammy Sosa's last game with the Cubs was nearly 14 years ago. For reasons that are unclear, the soon-to-be 50-year-old has been making the press rounds the last few weeks, discussing (albeit evasively) his performance-enhancing drug use (or lack thereof), his [lighter skin tone](https://www.google.com/search?q=sammy+sosa+complexion&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrpMb6jf7bAhUSoFMKHcw4BfcQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=671) and his feelings about the Cubs organization. The most damning quote about the Cubs came [via Sports Illustrated](https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/06/27/sammy-sosa-cubs-dubai-steroids-mark-mcgwire) (and some single malt Scotch) in the magazine's annual "Where Are They Now?" issue (Sosa was in Dubai, if you're wondering). "I passed Ernie Banks for most home runs in Chicago Cubs history," Sosa told SI. "He has a statue, and I don’t have nothing. So, what the f—?" The Ricketts family -- namely team chairman Tom Ricketts -- wants Sosa to admit taking PEDs and apologize for it before they invite him back to Wrigley Field. The family purchased the Cubs in 2009, five years after Sosa was traded to the Orioles. The Ricketts nearly got what they want in 2014, as the Dominican government intervened and persuaded Cubs employees to meet with Sosa, according to SI. But an apology never came to fruition. "According to the source, Sosa agreed that he would issue an apology -- that is, something to acknowledge malfeasance, but short of a total confession," the SI report stated. "The next day, Sosa backed out." That brings us to the interview that aired Sunday morning on [E:60](http://www.espn.com/watch/collections/20/e-60), during which Sosa said he would consider a Cubs homecoming if he was invited. But the problem from the Cubs' perspective remains that Sosa won't cop to taking PEDs. He told interviewer Jeremy Schaap he "never tested positive in this country," even though [The New York Times reported in 2009](https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/17/sports/baseball/17doping.html?ref=sports) that he did in 2003. <a href="https://twitter.com/E60/status/1012681425651412993" class="embedly-card" data-card-width="100%" data-card-controls="0">Embedded content: https://twitter.com/E60/status/1012681425651412993</a> Sosa repeatedly tried to get Schaap to change the subject from PEDs until finally cutting him off and taking a break from the interview. So it appears things will remain at a standstill between the Cubs and Sosa for the time being. When he eventually returned to the interview, Sosa discussed his much-talked-about lighter complexion, saying the reason he's lighter is because of facial lotion, which he uses "because he likes to have his skin clean." "For me, I do what Sammy Sosa wants to do," he added in response to so many people talking about the tone of his skin on social media. "It's my life ... I'm entitled in my life to do whatever I want."
