We have reached the first Special Day of the year. K-Wood Day, honoring Kerry Wood's 20 strikeout performance against the Houston Astros, celebrates the CFCL team that had the most strikeouts from their active roster. And what a pathetic collective performance it was. Not one TEAM could outperform Kerry's INDIVIDUAL performance 16 years ago. But The Swing came close, notching 17 strikeouts to take home the prize. They will be receiving a e-gift card from mlb.com in their InBox soon.
Interestingly, the Bulls had a chance to win. Strategically they benched Edwin Jackson while he pitched against the White Sox. Normally a good move, except that Jackson came through with a Quality Start . . . and nine strikeouts, all on reserve. The nine strikeouts would have given the Bulls enough to overtake The Swing.
Here are the results of all the teams compared to Kerry Wood.
KERRY WOOD - 20
The Swing - 17
Twin Killers - 15
Kenndoza Line - 10
Graging Bulls - 10
Dem Rebels - 9
Beatnicks - 7
Revenge - 3
Clowns - 2
DoorMatts - 0
Ruffins - 0
Wood had more strikeouts on May 6th, 1998 than the Beatnicks, Revenge, Clowns, DoorMatts and Ruffins did last night combined.
