Detroit — Dave Clark, the Tigers’ first-base coach, and Hall of Famer Jeff Bagwell, teammates on the 1998 Houston Astros team, were both watching the replay of Kerry Wood’s 20-strikeout game from May 6, 1998, which ESPN aired again on Saturday.
“We were texting back and forth,” Clark said, laughing. “We were doing like a play-by-play. I told him, at least I did put the ball in play one time.”
Clark, who was in his 13th and final big-league season, flew out to center field his first time up and then struck out in the fifth and eighth innings.
