Homer count held by Maris may be broken
SEATTLE — By starting September with a bang — two big bangs — in his home ballpark, Ken Griffey Jr. is chasing Roger Maris' home run record again.
The Associated Press
He is a longshot. But with a major league-leading 46 homers with 24 games left, Griffey is at a pace for 56, leaving him with a chance, however slim, at Maris' record.
Griffey swings at record
"If he breaks the record now, we would be sitting pretty good," Woody Woodward, Mariners general manager, said about the division race in the American League West.
In the Mariners' next-to-last inter-league game of the season, Griffey homered in his first two at-bats against San Diego's Joey Hamilton in a 9-6 victory that helped the Mariners take a two-game lead against Anaheim.
"He's battling Tino Martinez for the league's MVP," Mariners pitcher Jeff Fassero said. "If (Griffey) does that for the rest of the season or something close to that, I think he'll win it."
Mariners All-Star shortstop Alex Rodriguez said watching Griffey play made him feel like a fan.
"When Junior is swinging his bat the way he is right now, it makes everyone's job a lot easier," Rodriguez said. "It's a lot of fun for us to watch him, just like it is for you guys."
Griffey has everyone on his side — not just Nike and the Mariners' front office — in his effort to surpass Maris' mark of 61 set in 1961 for the New York Yankees.
The eight-time All-Star does not like to talk about himself, and he will not talk about Maris' record and home runs. The fans love his magnetic smile and personality. He has been the leading voter getter in the All-Star game three times.
Griffey began this season on a home-run spree, hitting 13 in April and 11 in May. Then he had just five in June and five in July. He got his swing back though in August with a dozen.
And he does not hit home runs just in the cozy Kingdome. Twenty-two of his 46 homers have been on the road this season.
In his last 27 games, he has been hitting .385 (40-for.104) with 13 homers and 24 RBIs. For the first time in three seasons, Griffey has been healthy.
He is hitting the ball all over the park now, too. His first home run Monday night was to left field and his second was a 441-foot shot to right-center.

Bulls' star looks to future, sees championship in reach
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — Michael Jordan said that another NBA championship would be harder this season but was within the grasp of the Chicago Bulls.
"Mentally, we're so much stronger than other teams," he said in an interview published yesterday in the "Chicago Sun-Times."
"We know what it takes to win, we know the work involved and we have the confidence because we've had success. That allows us to overcome some things that might stop other teams," Jordan said.
Nonetheless, he said, "I think it's going to be harder without a doubt."
willing to pay him what he believed he was worth when his contract expired next year.
Jordan minimized speculation that this would be Scottie Pippen's final season with the Bulls. Pippen has said he did not think the team would be
"I've always believed that
Jerry (Reinsdorf, the Bulls' chairman) would take care of myself." Jordan said. "I don't have any doubts that Jerry is going to take care of Scottie when the time comes. I know that Jerry has a lot of respect for Scottie and what he's meant to this team."
Jordan last month agreed to another record-setting one-year contract worth $33 million.
Jordan has campaigned for resigning Dennis Rodman but hopes
the "bad-boy" rebounder returns with a new sense of dedication.
"I'd like to see him limit his distractions as much as possible and avoid the suspensions and ejections he had last season." Jordan said.
Jordan avoided commenting about whether this would be his final season if coach Phil Jackson left. Jordan has said he would not play for any other coach.
Rodman, 36, lost much of what was supposed to be $9 million in salary last season because he was suspended three times.
In This World it's Not Only What You Know...
It's Who You Know.
"At this point of my career, I don't want to look too far into the future." Jordan said. "I just want Phil to do what he feels is best for him."
