1998 Wrigley Field Cubs vs Astros Metal Ticket 1998 Wrigley Field Chicago Cubs vs Houston Astros Metal Ticket Game 19 Kerry Wood 20 Strikeout Game This unique metal ticket commemorates one of the most legendary pitching performances in Major League Baseball history: Kerry Wood's 20-strikeout game against the Houston Astros on May 6, 1998. The front of the metal slab features a detailed vertical grain texture resembling stadium wood paneling, prominently displaying the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros logos. It includes specific seating information for Aisle 9, Row 2, Seat 104 in the Club Box, along with the game time of 1:20pm. The reverse side features a hammered metal finish and bears official MLB licensing marks, including a holographic security sticker and the "That's My Ticket" branding. This durable collectible captures the essence of a historic day at Wrigley Field in a format far more permanent than a standard paper ticket stub. 1998 Wrigley Field Chicago Cubs vs Houston Astros Kerry Wood 20 Strikeout Game Metal Ticket Condition: The item appears to be in excellent condition with sharp edges and clear, legible engravings.
