Sammy Sosa’s smashed boom box, the date of the Ferris Bueller game, the pictures Milton Bradley had on Jim Hendry … Now add this to the list of big Cubs mysteries:
Talking about the Cubs’ most recent public dustup between teammates, Kerry Wood revealed Friday that he, too, once fought with a Cub teammate.
Of course, that’s about all he revealed.
“It happens every year,” he said Friday after pitching a 1-2-3 inning against Kansas City. “I’ve been involved in them before when [the media] didn’t even know about it. It happens. You never like to see it happen where anybody else can see it but it is what it is.”
Wait a minute, Wood in a fight with a teammate? Which one?
“You should have been there,” he said, smiling.
When? What managerial regime? What era?
“Back when I played the first time,” he said, smiling again.
No kidding. That narrows it to maybe a couple hundred guys from 1998 through 2008.
One of his catchers? Another pitcher? Sammy?
Who, where, when?
“I don’t remember.”
