CHICAGO —
In an announcement that has Cubs fans buzzing with excitement, team owner Thomas S. Ricketts revealed just 30 minutes ago that the organization will host a once-in-a-lifetime show — a grand tribute inviting every legendary player who has ever donned the iconic Cubs jersey.
But what has the internet truly on fire?
Ricketts shared that the tribute will place special emphasis on none other than Mr. Cub himself — Ernie Banks.
“This is more than a celebration — it’s a reunion of greatness,” said Ricketts. “We want to honor the legends who built the soul of Wrigley Field, and it starts with Ernie.”
Let’s Play Two” — and Maybe More!
The upcoming show — still unnamed — is being described by insiders as a “hybrid of Hall of Fame ceremony, Broadway production, and fan festival.” It’s expected to feature live interviews, archival footage, dramatic reenactments, musical performances, and surprise appearances from current stars and living legends.
Among those rumored to be invited are:
- Ryne Sandberg
- Fergie Jenkins
- Billy Williams
- Kerry Wood
- Mark Grace
Sammy Sosa (Yes, even Sosa — no confirmation yet, but fans are hopeful)
A Healing Moment for Cubs Nation?
Perhaps even more powerful than nostalgia is the opportunity this event presents for reconciliation. For years, tensions lingered between the organization and players like Sammy Sosa, whose contributions remain undeniable. Fans speculate this could be a turning point.
One fan tweeted:
“If Sammy walks out on that stage, I’m crying in public. Let’s heal, Cubs family.”
When and Where?
The official date and name of the event are expected to be announced next week, with Wrigley Field almost certainly set as the venue. Sources hint the show may take place this summer, aligning with the All-Star break.
This is more than baseball. This is Chicago history in the making.
Stay tuned — this is one show no Cubs fan will want to miss.
