s single-game rookie record of 18 strikeouts in 1980. This outing is considered by many to be among the most dominant pitching performances in the history of baseball. To date, Wood and
Bob Feller are the only two pitchers to strike out their age in one game (at age 17, Feller struck out 17 batters in one game in 1936). Today we have
The Rainbow Connection by
THE LOVES.
