It is too bad. But he's still one of the all-time greatest Cubs.

Not counting Santo because I think he'll get in eventually, I don't think someone who isn't/won't be in the H.O.F. should have their number retired. Since Sosa won't get in for a LOOOONNNGGG time if he even does, he shouldn't have his # retired.

Sosa should be a first ballot guy.
