Sammy Sosa, 51, is considered one of the greatest professional baseball players in the history of the sport and he’s had quite the transformation from beginning to end. The amazing athlete, who retired in 2007, has had many memorable moments while out on the field, including his epic race with Mark McGwire to break Roger Maris‘ 1961 single-season home run record for the Chicago Cubs in 1998, which is the focus of the new ESPN documentary, Long Gone Summer.
