As a child in the Dominican Republic, he was occupied selling oranges for 10[cents] apiece and shining shoes for 25[cents] to help support his widowed mother, four brothers and two sisters in their two-room flat. When former Texas Ranger scout Omar Minaya spotted Sosa playing ball as a 16-year-old in 1985, Minaya recalls that the 150-lb., 5-ft. 10-in. kid, dressed in a borrowed uniform, looked both athletically promising and malnourished.

At 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Bobbi was partly anesthetized; 18 minutes later, the boy nicknamed Hercules (he'd been supporting the weight of all his siblings in the womb) was lifted out. "There was a lot of pressure," says anesthesiologist Dr. Dirk Brom, "but it all went like clockwork." Bobbi...
