I made a replica scoreboard of one the most legendary games in Cubs’ history.

  1. Kerry wood 20k, may 98, i sat 1st row right center moises alou flipped off the guy next to us for heckling him

  2. I see Anaheim is listed as a team, and they became the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2005. So this has to be before then. I see Tampa Bay as a team too, and their first year in the league was 1998 so it has to be after that.

    My first thought was the last game of the 2004 season, but I don’t think Kerry Wood pitched that game. Plus they played the Braves, not Houston.

    It’s definitely not the 20 strike out game. The image shows a score of 5-3 Houston in the 8th with Houston having a lead. Cubs won that game 2-0.

    So this is either a mistake or I’m missing something big that happened in that window

  3. sad that I spent so much time trying to figure it out and cannot because of the errors.
    Houston never scored.

    Cubs only scored two runs. In the 2nd and 8th innings.

    Clock has correct time

    Rockies at Phillies box score is correct. Pitcher numbers are not.

    Tigers at Oakland score is correct, but Oakland scored in the first, not the second.

    Don’t have the bandwidth to check the ump numbers

  4. This is supposed to be the Kerry Wood game, but it has some errors.

    1. Wood’s number was 34 (listed correctly) and Shane Reynolds (Astro’s pitcher) was #37 (listed correctly).
    2. The Astro hit count is listed correctly, at 1 hit. Note that they probably could not have scored 5 runs with only 1 hit.
    3. The Cub hit count is correctly listed at 8.
    4. The final score was Cubs 2, Houston 0. The Cubs got one run each in the 2nd (incorrectly listed) and the 8th (correctly listed) innings. Houston did not score any runs in the 5th. This needs fixing.
    5. The game was played on May 6th, 1998, when Anaheim was a team and Philadelphia came back to beat Colorado 7 to 6 in 10 innings.

  5. My brother in christ…. You know the Kid K didn’t allow 5 runs in this masterpiece! Either way, I feel a little robbed that I saw this here before I saw it in person but looks awesome man. When are you gunna finish a second one for me?

  6. So you made this thing, created this post, and fail to follow up about all the errors on it or anything. Cool.
