⚾ Autographed Kerry Wood 1998 NL ROY Chicago Cubs Pinstripe Baseball Jersey — Beckett BAS COA — The 20-Strikeout Game, the 1998 National League Rookie of the Year, Signed and Certified in the Cubs Home Pinstripe

⚾ On May 6, 1998, at Wrigley Field, 20-year-old Kerry Wood threw one of the most dominant pitching performances in the history of baseball — striking out 20 Houston Astros batters across nine innings of one-hit shutout baseball, tying the major league record for strikeouts in a single game, and announcing his presence to the baseball world in a manner that combined the visual violence of a power fastball with the number that stopped everyone who saw it: 20 Ks. No walks. Thirteen days later, he was in the NL Cy Young Award conversation. By the end of 1998, he was the National League Rookie of the Year. This signed Cubs home pinstripe jersey, authenticated with a Beckett BAS COA, is the collectible signed by the pitcher who threw that game and won that award. Condition: NOS.

🐻 Wrigley Field — The Ivy, the Bleachers, and the Day the Baseball World Stopped to Watch

🐻 Wrigley Field has hosted more than a century of baseball history — the ivy on the outfield walls, the hand-operated scoreboard, the bleacher culture of the North Side of Chicago that has made the ballpark at Clark and Addison one of the most beloved venues in American sports. On May 6, 1998, that history got one of its most memorable single-game chapters: a 20-year-old right-hander with an upper-90s fastball and a curveball that broke out of the zone just as hitters were beginning to track it, throwing the game of his life in front of the Wrigley Field crowd. The pinstripe jersey Wood signed carries the identity of that ballpark and that performance. Condition: NOS.

🏆 1998 National League Rookie of the Year — Validated by the Most Historic Single-Game Performance in Recent Memory

🏆 Kerry Wood's 1998 NL Rookie of the Year award was one of the least contested ROY votes in recent baseball history — because his 20-strikeout game had given the baseball world an image of his ability that no other statistic needed to supplement. The award formalized what the May 6 performance had announced: that the Cubs had a starting pitcher who, when healthy, could be as dominant as anyone in the sport. His signed Cubs pinstripe jersey carries that award's designation. Condition: NOS.
