The ripple effects are still being felt from Mark McGwire's confession and subsequent apology earlier this month that he used steroids for much of his career -- namely during the great home run chase of '98. Through natural thought process, the first name that comes to mind as being next in line is Sammy Sosa.

While some people -- such as myself -- don't think anything Sosa could possibly say would ever be good enough for the masses, meaning he shouldn't even bother to open himself back up the public onslaught of venom, Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks believes it would do some good.

Hall of Famer Banks, who will turn 79 next Sunday, wants Sosa and the new Cubs ownership group to embrace one another. He wants to see Sosa once again become a Cubs fan favorite and do things such as throw out the first pitch and be the guest conductor of the 7th inning stretch. He even told the Chicago Tribune he plans to meet with Sosa and convince him how this will be possible.
