hohokams Welcome On behalf of the Mesa HoHoKams, Welcome to HoHoKam Park and Dwight Patterson Field, winter home of the Chicago Cubs! The Cubs started Spring Training in Mesa 57 years ago and have become a permanent part of this community’s history. The HoHoKams are comprised of nearly 200 community leaders who volunteer their time to ensure your Spring Training experience is enjoyable. For those of you unaware of our history, the organization was begun in 1951 as a “special events committee” of Mesa business leaders whose primary goal was to attract a major league baseball team to Mesa each spring. Later that year, the late Dwight Patterson struck a deal with Chicago Cubs owner Phillip Wrigley and the team came to town for spring training in 1952. Since the first game at Rendezvous Park in 1952 to today, we have fond memories of working side-by-side with our colleagues to help make Spring Training in Mesa a special time for all baseball fans. Speaking of fans - what an incredible time to root for the Cubs! On the heels of their back-to-back central division
titles, the Cubs have a new owner who is committed to delivering a team both competitive on the field and innovative in all facets of the organization. 2008 was also a great season with two stand-out stars: Lou Pinella taking home Manager of the Year and Geovany Soto recognized as Rookie of the Year. Cubs fans continue to hold the Major League all-time attendance record for Spring Training and have led the Cactus League in attendance for nearly onefourth of a century. We anticipate another year of records in 2009! Through your outstanding support of the Cubs here each March, the HoHoKams are able to donate more than $100,000 each year to benefit dozens of youth groups, and raise additional monies to make stadium improvements. For more than five decades, HoHoKam charities have benefited from Spring Training and we are glad you are here once again to cheer on the Cubs and continue to play a big part of Cubs’ history in Mesa.

Fergie Jenkins Jr. Inducted Into HOF, 1991 • 20 game winner 7 times • nl cy young, 1971

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 AllStar 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 wellknown 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.

Born October 20, 1937, Juan Antonio Marichal Sanchez is a former right-handed pitcher who spent most of his career with the San Francisco Giants. Known for his nearly vertical leg kick as he wound up for a pitch, his style allowed him to hide the type of pitch he was throwing until it was on its way. A nine-time All-Star, Marichal led the league once in ERA, twice in wins, and four times in least walks allowed. No wonder he was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1983, receiving nearly 84% of the votes.

Jody averaged 19 HR’s and 73 RBI’s a season during his memorable 8 year stint with the Cubs. Jody was always a fan favorite because he worked hard on his game, evidenced by turning around his defensive game.
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.

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.

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.
I W 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.
