Fergie - Oversize Giclee on Canvas  -  30”H X 24”W

Product Description

Ferguson Jenkins made his Major League debut on September 10, 1965 at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia. He allowed only two hits in 4.1 innings of shutout relief to earn a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a game started by two future Hall of Famers, Bob Gibson and Jim Bunning. This short relief outing of a late season game between two second division teams was the springboard to a magnificent career that landed Fergie along side the two starters of his first ever game, in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Early the following season, Jenkins was shipped to the Chicago Cubs in a 4 player deal that helped turn the fortunes for the Cubbies. Starting in 1967, Fergie won 20 or more games for six straight seasons. Perhaps his finest year was 1971, when he captured the National League Cy Young award. Fergie’s career milestones include 284 victories and over 3000 strikeouts. Officially licensed MLB product.
