Welcome to Extreme Baseball.), Caution: Falling Records Ahead (The way batters are muscling up, this season could set a record for breaking records.), Man on a Mission (Erasing Roger Maris’s home run mark would be a thrill for the Cardinals’ Mark McGwire, but what he really wants to wipe out is child abuse.), Scouting Reports (In a special 62-page section, SI evaluates all 30 teams by how seriously they’re pursuing the pennant – and finds that the Braves and the Indians are trying the hardest.)
