Sosa electrified the crowd as he entered waving the American flag, jogging around the room before delighting fans with his iconic gesture of blowing kisses.

The moment was even more special with the announcement that Sosa and fellow Cubs great Derrick Lee had been inducted into the Cubs Hall of Fame.
