What’s the most dominant game that a pitcher can pitch?
一個投手於一場比賽的巔峰造極之作為何呢？
The knee-jerk reaction is probably to say, "a perfect game." But today’s
date, May 6, evokes the anniversary of an ever-so-slightly imperfect game
that might actually have the best case of all.
大家應該會下意識回答「完全比賽」。但22年前的今天（美國時間5月6日），這場那麼
些許不完美的比賽也許是上面那問題的最佳解答。
Twenty-two years ago today, 20-year-old Kerry Wood scraped the ceiling of
pitching performance with a record-tying 20-strikeout, one-hit masterpiece
against the Astros at Wrigley Field. It was the fifth start of Wood’s
career, and he woke up that day with a 5.89 ERA and 12 walks over his first
18 1/3 innings as a big leaguer. Wood’s first pitches at Wrigley portended
more of the same; they came in a disastrous warmup that he cut short,
figuring if he had anything that day, he’d better save it for the game.
二十二年前的今天，20歲的Kerry Wood在Wrigley Field對上太空人隊時投出這追平紀錄
的20三振，並只挨一安打的頂天表現。這只是Wood生涯的第五場先發，而在此之前他在
大聯盟生涯的18.1局中的防禦率為5.89，並投出12次保送。Wood在那天Wrigley的頭幾球
似乎預告著和之前類似的結果；畢竟他那天暖身不足，所以如果他有何看家本領，最好
是留到比賽時再來慢慢發揮。
Then, Wood unleashed perhaps the most devastating set of pitches ever seen
from a Major League mound. When Wood struck out Derek Bell swinging to end
the Cubs’ 2-0 win over the Astros in a crisp two hours and 19 minutes, he
had tied Roger Clemens’ all-time record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game
and refused to yield even a single walk. Houston’s only baserunners came
when Ricky Gutierrez’s grounder glanced off third baseman Kevin Orie’s
glove for a third-inning single (a play that Cubs fans begged to be ruled an
error as Wood’s masterpiece progressed) and when Wood plunked Craig Biggio
with a curveball in the sixth.
然後呢，Wood展現了或許是大聯盟史上最具破壞性的投球。當Wood藉由讓Derek Bell揮
空三振助小熊隊在兩小時19分鐘以二比零擊敗太空人隊時。Wood追平了Roger Clemens所
創下的九局比賽最高三振紀錄，而且沒有投出任何四壞保送。太空人唯二的上壘人次是
Ricky Gutierrez三局上一記由擦過三壘手Kevin Orie手套的滾地球所形成的一壘安打（
隨著比賽趨向不凡，小熊球迷開始央求這支安打以失誤記錄），以及Wood於六局上以曲
球砸中Craig Biggio造成的觸身球。
“We knew we were in trouble in the first inning,” Gutierrez recalled.
「我們在第一局的時候就知道大事不妙了。」Gutierrez回憶道。
By one metric, Wood’s Wrigley afternoon is the most dominant nine-inning
performance of the Modern Era
