Question:

Answers:

Does anyone know when the public can walk through Old Tiger Stadium before they tear it down?

As noted, the major league record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game is 20, shared by Clemens (twice), Wood, and Johnson (pitched first nine of an extra-inning game).

The extra-inning game record is 21 by Cheney.

There has been one, 27-strikeout, nine inning game in the minors, however. Ron Necciai did it in 1952 for a Pirates affiliate.

Why do the yankees get all of the spotlight even though they are doing bad this year?

Roger Clemens struck out 20 in a game in 1986, and again in 1996 with the Red Sox, and Kerry Wood struck out 20 in 1998 for the Cubs. No one else has struck out more in 9 innings in MLB history.

Tom Cheney of the Washington Senators struck on 21 (or is it 22?) in a 16-inning performance in 1962 I believe.
