I’m certain there was no mystery about which game ranked atop this list. So much has been written about this game, including on this site, that I wanted to take a different approach to Kerry Wood’s famous 20-K game, accomplished in his fifth big-league start.
This game should have been a no-hitter.
The one hit in the game, by Ricky Gutierrez of the Astros (he’d later be Wood’s teammate on the 2000 and 2001 Cubs), should have been ruled an error.
