| | Kerry Wood: Pitched the Best Game in Baseball History, and at the earliest age (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19) |
 | | Kerry Wood, a rookie baseball player only 20 years old, who started the season in the minor leagues, in just his fifth major league start, but with a 100-mile-per-hour-hour fastball, pitched what one commentator called “arguably the best pitched baseball game in history”. |
 | | Kerry Wood struck out 20 batters in just 9 innings, a National League record and a remarkable fact when one considers that there are only 27 outs per side in a baseball game, plus it rarely happens that a single pitcher pitches an entire game nowadays. |
 | | So many baseball records are flukes, caused not by the players playing well but by accidents, coincidences or by the opponents playing badly. |
