Fergie: My Life from the Cubs to Cooperstown
by Fergie Jenkins with Lew Freedman
ISBN: 978-1-60078-171-1

Ferguson Jenkins won 284 games in his Hall of Fame pitching career with the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, and Boston Red Sox, and he is the first Canadian to attain such prominence in the American national pastime. Jenkins’ life story, from Chatham, Ontario, to Cooperstown, is compelling, and Fergie tells it himself in his own unique and inimitable style.
A tremendous all-around athlete who has always been proud of his roots and representing his country during a lifetime in the game, Jenkins established a reputation as one of the greatest pitchers of not only his era (between 1965 and 1983) but of all time. A strikeout king who whiffed more than 3,000 batters, Jenkins earned the trust of his managers as a pitcher who completed what he started.
This is the story of a man who refused to be leveled by sadness and disappointments away from the playing field. It is also the story of behind-the-scenes good humor in clubhouses and what takes place on baseball teams as they live and play together for months at a time, as only Fergie can tell it.

@dirtguy4halos It's sad that more people don't know about him. My father & his father were good friends. His father was also an amazing player, however at that time, black players were very rare.
