Hall of Fame Biography: https://youtu.be/GBioKF9ezcI
Ferguson Jenkins (Born in Chatham, Ontario on December 13, 1943-) was the first Chicago Cubs pitcher and first Canadian to win the Cy Young Award. Fergie won 20 games in his first full season with the Chicago Cubs, earning a second place finish for the 1967 National League Cy Young Award voting, and award he would later win in 1971. He was also named the 1971 National League TSN Pitcher of the Year. The 1967 campaign began a stretch of six straight 20-win seasons, and seven out of eight from 1967-1974. Jenkins was a premier pitcher for 19 seasons primarily with the Chicago Cubs (1966-1973, 1982-1983), the Texas Rangers (1974-1975, 1978-1981) and the Boston Red Sox (1976-1977). Though somewhat prone to give up the long ball, leading the league in home runs allowed seven times, he was a workhorse who led the league in complete games four times, games started three times and twice in wins. The three-time All-Star selection is among three pitchers to record 3,000 strikeouts or more while allowing fewer than 1,000 walks in a career. Fergie Jenkins retired with a record of 284-226 with 3,192 strikeouts and a career 3.34 earned run average. Ferguson Jenkins was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.
