...make ends meet, Brennetta slashed her living expenses and took a second job teaching a youth choir. It was an exhausting time. She set up a playpen in her office to keep Imani with her at work. Even the smallest tasks could be a trial. "Try taking a shower holding your baby in your arms," she says. She remembers talking to a student one day when her mind suddenly went blank. "I was so tired," she says. "I was an emotional wreck." Things are smoother now that Imani is nearly four and relatives are nearby to pitch in; indeed, Brennetta...

He is the smallest ever to strike out more than 300 batters in a season, a milestone he reached in 1997 and again last year. How does he do it? The Boston faithful say he's a miracle. Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette calls Martinez "a gift from...
