Inducted Into HOF, 1991 20 game winner 7 times • nl cy young, 1971
F
erguson Jenkins Jr. was born on December 13, 1942 in the small town of Chatham, located in Ontario, Canada. In 1959 he drew the attention of Gene Dziadura, the scout for the Philadelphia Phillies. In 1961-62, he was named Athlete of the Year at his high school, and accordingly signed with the Philadelphia Phillies in the latter year. Over the next three years, Fergie would spend time with a number of teams in the Minor Leagues before being drafted by the Phillies in 1965. He was traded the following year to the Chicago Cubs, and would spend the two following years touring with the Harlem Globetrotters in addition to his Major League career. In 1971, Fergie earned the Cy Young Award, the same year he pitched his 100th career win against the Atlanta Braves. He was an All-Star for the third time in 1972, and traded to the Texas Rangers in 1974 (the same year he was named Comeback Player of the Year) before playing for the Boston Red Sox in 1976. In 1982, Fergie returned to the Chicago Cubs before retiring two seasons later. He would wrap up his career with 3,192 strikeouts, 997 walks, 49 career shutouts, 284 wins, and 267 completed games. To date, he is the only Major League pitcher to record more than 3,000 strikeouts with less than 1,000 walks. Five years after his final Major League game, in 1987, Fergie was elected into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame as well as the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. He was finally inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, the first and only Canadian to do so. A few years later, Fergie became the Chicago Cubs pitching coach and was the National League honorary pitching coach for the All-Star team a year later, in 1995. In 2000, the Fergie Jenkins Foundation Inc. was established. In 2007, Fergie finally had his investiture into the Order of Canada for being Canada’s most well-known Major Leaguer, though he was appointed 27 years earlier, in 1979. Today, Fergie travels all over North America participating in a myriad of events, and helping to raise money for charity through the Fergie Jenkins Foundation.

Blue was a southpaw power pitcher. He possessed a breaking curveball that he threw on occasion and an above average change-up, but his signature pitch was a blistering fastball that dialed up to nearly 100 miles per hour.[5] In The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers, alltime hits leader Pete Rose stated that Blue ‘threw as hard as anyone’ he had ever faced and baseball historian Bill James cited Blue as the hardest-throwing lefty, and the second hardest thrower of his era, to only Nolan Ryan.[7]

Al Downing, who gave up Hank Aaron’s record-breaking 715th homer, entered baseball loaded with potential. His fastball exploded and his curveball danced. Called by some “the black Sandy Koufax,” he never lived up to that billing, partly because of control problems and inconsistency and later because of arm miseries, but for four seasons he was excellent. Recalled from the minors to the Yankees for good in June 1963, Downing maintained a summerlong electric pace of low-hit games. The first black starting pitcher in club history allowed a scant 5.84 hits per nine innings and finished with a 13-5 record.

1974-1986
Dennis Leonard was one of the Kansas City Royals’ most dominating pitchers of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, but a promising career cut short due to injuries. In 1975, which was his first full year he managed to bust out with a 15-7 record. He would keep adding on to that with three 20 win seasons, but more impressive was the amount of games he started and finished. Despite his success in the regular season his post season record is less than impressive. He started 9 postseason games for the Royals between 1976 and 1981, but ended with a record of only 3-5, including a 1-1 record in the 1980 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. www.fergieandfriends.com r

George kiefer George is the organist for Chicago Cubs spring training games at HoHoKam Stadium. He grew up a Cubs fan on the north side of Chicago. After a dismal little league career, he took up music as a way to stay connected to his favorite sport, learning the organ in part by listening to the organists at Wrigley Field. His rock and blues bands have performed at the Cubby Bear and the Chicago House of Blues, and he occasionally appears on stage and screen as an actor, most recently on TBS’ “My Boys”. Eventually George figured out how to hit, and has played amateur ball for MSBL and other leagues since 1983.

HOW TO KEEP SCORE Fans can enjoy baseball more by keeping score of the game. The best part about keeping score is that it’s easy. All you need is a basic knowledge of baseball’s rules. Experts use a simple code which is based on numbering players by their positions.
Number Players As Follows
Add i ti onal Symbols:
1 Pitcher 2 Catcher 3 First Baseman 4 Second Baseman 5 Third Baseman
6 Shortstop 7 Left Fielder 8 Center Fielder 9 Right Fielder DH Designated Hitter
Every time a batter goes to the plate, use the number to indicate how he was retired or how he reached base. Fielding plays, retiring batters or runners also call for use of the numbers. For instance, the batter who grounds out to the shortstop is retired 6-3 in your scoring. If he flies to the right fielder, merely use the figure 9. If it is foul: 9F.
IW for intentional walk L for line drive Kc for called out on strikes B for bunt and a wavy line indicating a change, either for a new pitcher or batter. Symbols for Pl ays Single Double Triple Home Run Sacrifice Walk Strikeout BalK Foul Fly
