Description

In his first year in the starting rotation for the Chicago Cubs, Ferguson Jenkins was a workhorse, albeit an underpaid one. He won 20 games with a 2.80 earned-run average, struck out 236 batters and finished second in the Cy Young Award voting. A great all-round athlete, Jenkins took an off-season job joining the Harlem Globetrotters on a winter tour and ended up earning $10,000, which was $3,000 more than the Cubs paid him.
