| | |  | | Sammy Sosa swatted 63 home runs last season. |
The 2000 season is all about power: the sluggers of the National League and Pedro Power in the American League. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Ken Griffey Jr. and Jeff Bagwell in one division? It's enough to turn a pitcher who toils in the NL Central a tad bit crazy. Even crazier may be the thought that the Red Sox can beat the Yankees, but Pedro Martinez is dominating enough to pull it off, especially if the aging arms of Roger Clemens and David Cone don't hold up.
