1. Barry`s_Lazy_Boy Posted: January 19, 2012 at 10:34 PM (#4040877)Still love Fergie Jenkins, whatever he meant.
Jus wonderin Fergie.
Fergie Jenkins completed 30 of 39 games in 1971, and went 24-13 with 2 no decisions and a 143 ERA+.
He won 20 games 6 consecutive years and 7 out of 8, total of 166 in that span.
30 decisions 10 times and 29 in an 11th.
That must seem weird to some fans.
Pedro Martinez career high in decisions? 27
Career CG? 46 (NOT a knock on him)
cool to have witnessed the last SP workhorse era as well as the specialization...
Yeah, the rest of the paragraph reads as if there's a missing "People say," in front of 'he's never put on a jockstrap though.'"
I wonder if GMs appreciate this sorta thing or just find it annoying. Is it "Oh, Fergie's on the phone? Cool! But I'm super busy right now." Or "Oh geez, I can't be bothered with that nut. Take a message."

Probably depends on the sense of entitlement the ex-player projects. "This organization means a lot to me, I'd love to talk" probably goes much further than "I'm a famous ex-player, who do you think you are not consulting me?"
Agreed. I started reading that and inwardly cringed at another athlete-says-you-didn't-play-the-game moment, but then he seems to point out that if he can evaluate talent, then that's what matters.
Regardless, Fergie is awesome.
Jus wonderin Fergie.
Hell, Fergie himself was only 3 at the time.
2. Did you know that he was the commissioner of a league? The Canadian Baseball League - lasted less than a season.
Agreed, I came here to praise Fergie's comments on the jockstrap, the clarification portion of it after the initial comment seemed to be a positive comment, bagging on the people using the never worn a jockstrap comments.
