Interesting Fergie minutiae

• The Phillies traded both Jenkins (in 1966) and Ryne Sandberg (in 1982) to the Cubs after each had only played one year in the majors. Thus the hapless Phils freely supplied Chicago with two of their greatest players (both have been inducted to the Hall of Fame) of the past half-century.
• A well-publicized incident, involving cannabis, delayed his induction into the Hall of Fame.
• An outstanding all-around athlete, Fergie played basketball as a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.
