Last Night I pulled out some stuff out of storage and saw a box that had some scrapbooks from the late 30's early 40's. They were from a Red Sox fan living in NYC. I know this because all the ticket stubs are from Yankee game and almost all the box scores are Red Sox. Taking a suggestion from a board member I am trying to get some stubs from Home run games from 500 HR club members to go on my display. So I start reading and find an early Williams and a nice Foxx stub. Then I get to this page....Joe Dimaggio ties Willie Keeler for consecutive hit streak. Field box stub so has date!! Streak stubs are rare and I have never seen this one before my new favorite stub... and my old favorite an 1885 Providence stub from their last year in the National League.

Just snagged this one. Greatest game ever pitched. Kerry Woods 5th start and he gets a complete game, 20 strikeout, 1 hit shutout. And does it against the Astros who would win 102 games! According to Bill James' pitching "Game Score" system it rates a 105 with none higher. The only hit he gave up was an infield hit. the highest possible game score would be a 114. That would be a 27strikeout complete Perfect Game.

Game Score is a metric devised by Bill James to determine the strength of a pitcher in any particular baseball game. To determine a starting pitcher's game score:

Start with 50 points.
Add one point for each out recorded, so three points for every complete inning pitched.
Add two points for each inning completed after the fourth.
Add one point for each strikeout.
Subtract two points for each hit allowed.
Subtract four points for each earned run allowed.
Subtract two points for each unearned run allowed.
Subtract one point for each walk.

I was at his next start, (a day late and a dollar short), he struck out 13.
