SHOCKING Cubs Hall of Fame Announcement Revealed: Legendary Players Honored in 2025 Class

Every year, the Chicago Cubs announce their Hall of Fame class, highlighting some of the best players in franchise history. In 2025, Tom Ricketts took to the Cubs Convention stage to announce the 2025 Hall of Fame class, and the news sent shockwaves throughout the baseball community. This year's class is headlined by two Cubs legends: Sammy Sosa and Derrek Lee.

Sammy Sosa, one of the most iconic players in Cubs history, is a longtime fan favorite. His impressive career with the Cubs spanned over a decade, and he left an indelible mark on the franchise. With 545 home runs and 1,414 RBIs, Sosa is one of the most prolific hitters in Cubs history. His on-field accomplishments, combined with his charisma and dedication to the team, have cemented his status as a Cubs legend.

Derrek Lee, a three-time Gold Glove winner and two-time Silver Slugger, also brings an impressive resume to the 2025 Hall of Fame class. During his time with the Cubs, Lee established himself as one of the premier first basemen in the National League, known for his exceptional defense and clutch hitting. His contributions to the Cubs' success in the early 2000s earned him a special place in the hearts of Cubs fans.

The announcement of the 2025 Hall of Fame class was met with widespread enthusiasm, as fans and former players alike took to social media to congratulate Sosa and Lee on their well-deserved honors. The Cubs Convention, which typically draws thousands of fans, was electric as Tom Ricketts revealed the news, and the crowd erupted in cheers and applause as the two legends were introduced.

The Cubs' Hall of Fame, established to recognize the greatest players, managers, and executives in franchise history, continues to grow with the addition of Sosa and Lee. The 2025 class will be formally inducted in a ceremony later this year, providing fans with a unique opportunity to celebrate the achievements of these two beloved players.

As the Cubs look to the future, the 2025 Hall of Fame class serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition that defines the franchise. With Sosa and Lee joining the ranks of other Cubs legends, the team's commitment to honoring its past is clear, and fans can expect many more years of celebrating the greatest moments and players in Cubs history.
