My favorite Kerry Wood memory is from October 15, 2003 – Game 7 of the NLCS against the Marlins. After the Game 6 debacle, every Cubs fan older than eight years old knew the outcome of Game 7 was a foregone conclusion. This was confirmed when Miguel Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the top of the first inning. Yet Woody responded with a two-run homer in the bottom of the second to tie the game and allow Cubs fans everywhere to believe, if only for a couple more innings. I remember watching him circle the bases with tears in my eyes; I’m not sure if they were out of sadness or joy. Entering the game with 211 regular season and 20+ postseason innings, Woody’s tired right arm didn’t have its best stuff, and he eventually left the game in the sixth inning after giving up seven runs. Nonetheless, I never forgot his competitiveness and how he tried to keep the Cubs in the game any way he could. (Excerpt from Every Hundred Years ... or so)

Actually trying to raise some money for my brother-in-law (a great Cubs fan and father of four) who is entering his 4th year battling Multiple Myeloma (blood cancer). Every Hundred Years is a book which is my diary of the 2008 season as a Cubs fan. Had to add an epilogue after Oct. 4 with a happier, albeit fictional ending, thanks to our favorite team. Website includes details, including excerpts. Signed, The Pimp
