Kerry Wood Videos

Kerry Wood videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Kerry Wood videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.

"That game reminded me a lot of the first time we saw (Nolan) Ryan in the sense that it seemed like when the ball left his (Kerry Wood) hand, it hit the (catcher's) mitt at the same time." - Houston Astros Manager / Former Pitching Ace Larry Dierker in Baseball Digest (December 1998, George Vass, 'Baseball Digest's Rookie All-Stars of '98', Page 26)
