Relive the magic of the early May day at Wrigley Field when 20-year-old rookie Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood took the mound and struck out 20 batters to tie the major league record. On May 6, 1998, Kerry Wood joined a list of just one other pitcher at the time, Roger Clemens, by recording 20 strikeouts in a nine-inning game. The Cubs beat the Astros 2-0 and the young Kerry Wood cemented his place in MLB record books.
