The "Who did Kerry Wood Strike Out?" Quiz
On May 6, 1998 twenty-year old Kerry Wood recorded 20 K's against the Houston Astros. It was just Wood's fifth career start. Every batter in the starting lineup struck out at least once, as did the only pinch hitter Wood faced. Can you name every Astro that struck out that day in 5 minutes or less?
