Derrek Lee weighed in on the Sammy Sosa for the Hall Of Fame subject in today's Chicago Tribune:
But first baseman Derrek Lee believes the Cubs organization should pay tribute to Sosa with a day in his honor after the retirement becomes official, as it did with Greg Maddux.
"I think he carried this franchise a long time," Lee said. "I think it would be fitting. Obviously he has had the [steroid] allegations against him, but nothing has been proven. I think you have to do something for him. "The guy was the franchise for a long time, put up Hall of Fame numbers, and put fans in the seats."
So what do you think? Should the Cubs have a "Sammy Sosa Day" and invite him back to Wrigley? Vote in our new poll in the sidebar.

Honor a guy that dishonored the team and it's fans on his way out???? I say no way! Selfish Sammy should just throw a pity party and get over himself. SO SICK OF THIS IDIOT!!!! Can we trade the memory of Sammy Sosa for an arm in the bullpen?
As hard as it is to ignore that he left on bad terms, it's also hard to ignore that he has the greatest numbers of any Cub in our lifetime. While I think the Cubs should honor him in some way, I don't think I'd go out of my way to attend that game and ceremony...
