Bummed out to hear rumors of Kerry Wood retiring. Something about a guy coming up with so much hype and he really answered the bell in the beginning - He was a key guy with the early 2000s Cubs teams that came so close to breaking the curse, but injuries just hampered a "what could have been" career.
And there will always be
The Kerry Wood Game.
2012 Phungo #39 Kerry Wood
Wood did not receive a single Cy Young vote during his
career, including
2003 when he led the league with
266 Ks. 67 of his 86 career Wins came between 1998-2004.
There are dozens perhaps hundreds of Kerry Woods scattered across Baseball History.
Stephen Strasburg could have a Hall of Famer career, he could also have a Kerry Wood career.
