Just last week, I told you the story of Alex Gonzalez’ walkoff home run against the Rockies May 4, 2003 at Wrigley Field.
It took A-Gon just five more games to do it again. (Shades of Jim Hickman, who also hit two walkoff homers in a five-day, six-game span in June 1969, which you can read about here.)
This time, it was against the arch-rival Cardinals, the second of what was to be a three-game series. The Cubs had dropped the opener to St. Louis 6-3 on a warm Friday afternoon, and Kerry Wood took the mound against Woody Williams on a cool, cloudy Saturday.
