Trib Eulogizes Kerry Wood
Written by wrigleyville   
Thursday, 13 November 2008
Paul Sullivan writes a nice farewell to Kerry Wood, though it reads bizarrely like a eulogy. He's going to Arlington or New York or some such, not heaven (he's been to Iowa plenty). Having covered Wood in eight of his 11 seasons with the Cubs, from his 20-strikeout gem in his fifth start to his Game 7 loss to Florida in the 2003 National League Championship Series to his remarkable transition to All-Star closer in 2008, I found him to be funny, intelligent, sarcastic, brutally honest and somewhat moody — but mostly just human. He was loyal to his teammates, his pitching coaches, the Wrigley Field ushers and Eddie Vedder. He was charitable to children's causes. And he generally was accommodating with reporters, except when he was asked how his arm, elbow, shoulder or blister was doing. It concludes with a nasty shot at Mark Prior from someone who makes his living doing nothing more strenuous than turn on a laptop: But that was Wood, always wanting the ball. He was frequently mentioned in the same breath — and on the same injury report — as disabled-list magnet Mark Prior, but it was never a fair comparison. Wood's arm wouldn't let him pitch, not his head. Whether it was right or wrong to let Wood go, his legacy in Chicago is secure. He arrived as a phenom, became a legend in only five starts and experienced more highs and lows than any player in franchise history. Be well, Woody.
