The game you’re going to read about here didn’t make it into that list because while the Cubs scored 20 runs, their opponent, the Dodgers, managed just one.
Since 1900, the Cubs have scored 20 or more runs in a game just 15 times. Here’s the entire list:

And so you are reading about this because today is the 20th anniversary of the last time the Cubs scored 20 runs in a game, May 5, 2001 at Wrigley Field against the Dodgers.
It’s not just that the team scored 20 runs, it’s how they did it. Through six innings this was a rather ordinary game. Sammy Sosa and ex-Dodger Todd Hundley had homered off Darren Dreifort and the Cubs had a 4-1 lead.
Now the
Stuff team will vote to determine a winner in each category by ranking the finalists from No 1 to No 4. Once the five category winners have been found, we will also hold a vote to determine a supreme winner, and all six awards will be handed out at the same time. The Halberg Foundation decided in November that “with international sporting events being severely affected in 2020” as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, it would consider “performances of merit” from the year alongside those from 2021 at the start of 2022. At its annual gala function in Auckland next Thursday, it will instead hand out Decade Champion awards for the 2010s, with the voting academy choosing from the various winners over the past 10 years.
