i remember watching the kerry wood game. he and prior were something for like a year or two. i saw clemens 2nd one and johnsons 9 inning one. but since it went extra innings he got fucked.
I also saw Clemon's 2nd 20 strike out game also,.. it was amazing, unforgettable, exciting as hell In 1962 vs the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Senator's Tom Cheney struck out 21 batters in a 16 inning game,.. no other pitcher has struck out more than 20 in a game.
Competition committee agrees to changes to strike zone, intentional walks http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/1...-agrees-changes-strike-zone-intentional-walks .....The committee agreed on a motion to effectively raise the lower part of the strike zone to the top of the hitter's knees, sources said. The current rules stipulate that the zone begins at "the hollow beneath the kneecap," but the change is a reaction to a trend by umpires to call strikes on an increasing number of pitches below the knees. The change in the intentional-walk rule would end the traditional practice of requiring the pitcher to lob four balls outside the strike zone. Instead, a team could signify it wants to issue an intentional walk, and the hitter would be immediately sent to first base..... The potentially dramatic changes could be in effect by next season.

Tim Lincecum pitches seven-inning, one-hit gem in Triple-A, Next stop, the Angels' rotation, probably Friday in Oakland. http://m.mlb.com/cutfour/2016/06/13...tches-gem-for-triple-a-bees-poses-with-mascot He was a great Giant,.. two Cy Young Awards,.. two no hitters Doesn't look right in that uniform
Giants are red hot, having won 30 of 39 games http://m.giants.mlb.com/news/article/185784540/giants-on-a-roll-as-players-step-up
I first went to Candlestick in 1963,.. Giants lost to the Pirates 4-1,.. but that didn't matter, I'd found my first love and have been an avid passionate Giants fan ever since. . . . .
