Fergie Jenkins Jr.
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.

He won 3 World Series with the Athletics in 1972, 1973, and 1974. He still holds the A’s team records for career games (1702), putouts (2932), assists (5021) and double plays (394) at shortstop. The Arizona All-Stars better watch out for this speedy shortstop!
Born on November 9th, 1956, Jody Davis was drafted by the NY Mets in 1976. By 1981 he was a Cub, and from 1982 to 1988 he was the everyday catcher of the Cubs. He was an All-Star in 1984 and 1986, and a Gold Glove winner in 1986. He finished in the top ten MVP voting in 1984, his fourth MLB season. Jody averaged 19 HR’s and 73 RBI’s a season during his memorable 8 year stint with the Cubs.

Davis is a former left fielder in Major League Baseball best known for his years with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Born on January 5th, 1957 Bob Dernier was a speedy outfielder who signed with the Phillies in 1977 as an amateur free agent. He finally cracked the big club in 1982 as a shifty runner. In 1984 Bob won a Gold Glove and had his best statistical season. He scored 94 times, batted .278 and stole 45 bases. No pitcher should attempt a high leg kick when Bob is on first, or he will pay for his mistake!

1970
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.

1969-1971
1971-1981
1982-1986
Born December 1st, 1948, this MVP and 5 times outfielder All-Star starter was a solid hitter from the mid 70s to the mid 80s with the Reds and the Mets. George won 2 World Series with the Reds in 1975 and 1976. He led the league in home runs and RBIs in 1976 (121), 1977 (51/149) and 1978 (40/120). His total career home runs top out at 348 which leaves him 78th all time. 1977 was his MVP year. The Arizona All-Stars may want to pitch around the hitting force of Foster.

F ERGIE Dennis Leonard
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.

Born February 18, 1949, John Claiborn Mayberry is a former first baseman who played in the Major Leagues from 1968 to 1982. This lefty started his career with the Houston Astros, but spent time with the Kansas City Royals and the Toronto Blue Jays before wrapping up his career with the New York Yankees. A two-time All-Star, Mayberry was a very talented hitter and remains tied for 171st on the Top 500 Home Run Hitters of all time list. He is also one of only 336 Major League players to have hit three home runs in one game, having accomplished this feat with the Royals in 1975.

Born April 19, 1948, Richard Alan Miller was an outfielder who spent the majority of his 15 season career with the Boston Red Sox. Though he would both start and end his career with the Red Sox, he did spend three seasons with the California Angels as well. Miller’s talented play at center field earned him a Gold Glove in 1978. The All-Stars are surely going to try and place the ball in the gap, with Miller roaming the field.

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.
