One-hour look at pitcher Ferguson Jenkins during the 1972-1973 seasons.

From an article about Ferguson Jenkins in the February 19, 2011 Vancouver Sun: “Jenkins, who was born and raised in Chatham, Ont., was in Winnipeg on Friday for the local unveiling of the new 59-cent peel-and-stick stamp issued in his honour during Black History Month.

The stamp includes a present-day image of Jenkins, the only Canadian inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, with a photograph in the background from a Sports Illustrated cover showing him in his pitching heyday.

‘This is humbling,’ Jenkins, who won 284 major league games, said.”
