Bulls fans celebrate championship
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — For the third time in many years, Chicago Bulls fans crowded a downtown park Tuesday to celebrate their team's NBA championship and hear promises of another victory party next year.
Chicago crowd welcomes winners
The players did not disappoint supporters who braved mud, sweat and 80-degree heat to catch a glimpse of their hometown heroes.
"If you guys support us like you've done the last three years, then I guarantee another — four-pet, forward — Grant told the cheering crowd.
"Certainly, destiny shall be back
Greeted with phony fog and thundering music — the usual introduction at Chicago Stadium — the team appeared on the band-shell stage about an hour later than planned.
Not all fans were as sure about next year, but that didn't take the shine off the celebration.
Fans wav banners and cheered as each player gave a short speech, or in the case of Will Perdue, read poetry.
"Everyone feels best about this one because it was so hard to win," said John Akalatis, 20, a student. "This'll probably be the last one they win."
"As I promised last year, the third title is oh so sweet," he said. "I know but once again, I had that same feat. Could a fourth title be for us? I don't
"The only thing I could do was listen to my radio." Ochoa said. "I could have done that at home."
The 45-minute ceremony didn't please all of the tens of thousands at Grant Park — especially those so far away they couldn't see or hear.
"Next year, I'm out here as soon as the game's over," she said.
here for the fourth time," said Michael Jordan, the NBA Finals MVP for the third straight year.
Perched on a guard rail about five feet in the air, Noris Holmes, 36, of Chicago, said she could see the stage but couldn't hear.
Nearby, 69-year-old Marcella Ochoa listened to a portable radio to monitor the action on stage

Meanwhile, prosecutors and police continued to tally the deaths, arrests, and injuries in the 9-18 result of the Bulls' clenching 99-98 victory over the Phoenix Suns Sunday.
Some climbed trees or street lights attempting to get a better view.

"I was here last year. I'm here this year. And I'll be here next year," said Tony Echevarria, 24, of Chicago
with a younger friend. "We were here at eight and all the seats and half the trees were already taken."
Friday and Saturday:
"These are the true Bulls fans here," said Allen Keburis, of Chicago.
About 75 loyal Bulls fans spent the night in the park to guarantee good seats.
Police said three people died as a result of gunfire and 682 were arrested after the game. Of those, 164 were charged with felonies — mostly burglaries — according to the Cook County state attorney's office.

BASEBALL NOTES
Fisk catches No. 2,226
CHICAGO — Cartton Fisk, saying he hoped to be remembered for doing his best, was honored Tuesday night by his Chicago White Sox teammates and fans before breaking the major league record for games caught.
With his family, parents and friends present on "Carlton Fisk Night," he then squatted behind the plate and caught a pitch from Alex Fernandez for game No. 2,226.
Fisk, 45, called surpassing Bob Boone's previous record "a duty and not a destination."
"It doesn't happen like falling out of a tree," he said, "but it takes endurance and perseverance."
Fisk seemed to be aware that this might be the beginning of the end. There has been talk that the White Sox would release him after he broke the record.
NEW YORK — The New York Mets, accustomed to losing this season, lost a general manager yesterday.
Al Harazin resigned as general manager after 11/2 disappointing seasons of running the club. Former GM Frank Cashen took over the daily operations of the team on an interim basis.
The owners wanted Harazin to stay on in a business capacity, but he declined.
"Fred Wilpon and I tried to convince him not to do this," co-owner Nelson Doubleday said at a news conference. "We wanted him to stay on and run the business end. Not one person could handle everything. We felt what was going on the field was a reflection of one man having too much to do."
Harazin leaves the Mets with a legacy of losing. New York is 21-48, last in the National League.
Met pitcher hits futility
NEW YORK — Anthony Young, the pitcher who just cannot win, reached the record that no one ever wanted. He lost his 23rd straight decision Tuesday night, tying Cliff Curtis' 82-year-old record in the New York Mets' 62 loss to the Montreal Express.
"I'm embarrassed because I know I'm a better pitcher than that," Young said. "You saw the game."
He was moved up a day in the rotation when Dwight Gooden was pushed back because of a stiff right shoulder. But to no avail.
Young gave up six runs and six hits in six innings and fell behind 6-0. Not since Curtis struggled for Boston of the National League in 1910-11 has a pitcher faced such futility.
"It's hard to believe." Young said.
"Who would want to be 0-23?"
The loss capped another grim day in a season that has spun out of control for the Mets. The frustration continued when manager Dallas Green was ejected during an argument in which he threw a stool onto the field.
“You'd have to say this is just the beginning,” George Stamas, an attorney for a group comprised of Baltimore lawyer Peter Angeloels, author Tom Clancy and moviemaker Barry Levinson, said after yesterday's hearing.
NEW YORK - Bidders for the Baltimore Orioles increased the ante in U.S. Bankruptcy Court yesterday, setting the stage for an August auction that could far exceed the greatest price paid for a baseball team.
The Baltimore Orioles are for sale because the major owner, venture-capitalist Eli Jacobs, defaulted on more than $44 million in loans and personal guarantees to banks. He was forced into bankruptcy court reorganization
