Tomorrow is Fergie Jenkins’ 83rd birthday.<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Chatham before starting his Major League Baseball career. He played from 1965 to 1983 for the Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n

A Cy Young winner for best pitcher, he won 20 or more games 7 times. He had over 3,000 strikeouts during his career and his 284 victories are the most by a black pitcher in major league history. In the late 60’s, Fergie played basketball in the offseason with the Harlem Globetrotters.<\/p>\n

Jenkins was the first Canadian to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991; he remained the only one until Larry Walker’s induction in 2020.<\/p>\n
