This is a rare POLAROID photograph signed by the FERGIE JENKINS, in 1994 at the VSDA (Video Software Dealers Association) convention. He was there with other baseball greats at the convention to promote the release on video of the 11 episode series Ken Burns "Baseball", a documentary on the history of the sport. Ferguson Jenkins was born on December 13, 1942 in Chatham, Ontario, Canada as Ferguson Arthur Jenkins Jr.. Inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, the first Canadian player so honored. Pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies (1965-1966), Chicago Cubs (1966-1973, 1982-1983), Texas Rangers (1974-1975, 1978-1981), and Boston Red Sox (1976-1977). Known for pinpoint control and the best strikeout-to-walk ratio of his time. Inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, 1987. On March 18, 2009, it was announced by the Cubs that Fergie?s number would be retired at Wrigley Field in Chicago. In a ceremony on May 3, 2009, Fergie?s number, 31, was raised up the historic left field foul pole, enshrining him among the other greatest Chicago Cubs players in its storied 138-year history. In 2010, Fergie was honored with a Canadian Postage Stamp in conjunction with Black History Month. In February 2011, he traveled to 46 cities across Canada, promoting the stamp and speaking on behalf of black history initiatives. His charitable foundation, the Fergie Jenkins Foundation, was founded in 1999 and continues to operate out of St. Catharines, Ontario, raising more than $4-million for hundreds of charities across North America. In 2011, the Fergie Jenkins Foundation doubled its office size to accommodate the development of the Fergie Jenkins Baseball/Black History Museum. The facility, scheduled to open to the public in mid 2013, will celebrate Fergie?s athletic and humanitarian accomplishments, showcase his vast collection of sports memorabilia and serve as an educational tool for local youth.
