Special Delivery Courtesy Of Hall Of Famer, Mr. Fergie Jenkins!!!
I took part in a private signing with Fergie Jenkins in December. Through his foundation, I was able to ship my items in early before the event with the promise that my items would be signed for me and then quickly returned.
I sent two items, one if which would complete a project for me, and was hoping for the best.
Well, fast forward 30 days later, and my items have been returned to me. And they were handled perfectly. And I am very, very happy that I took part in this event.
Come check out my haul:
First up, a signed Boston Red Sox mini helmet:
Oh, yeah. Perfectly signed in Silver with Fergie’s HOF inscription. This is the final mini helmet for my Jenkins collection. I now have his signature on a Phillies, Cubs, Rangers, and Red Sox mini helmet.
Up next is the signed baseball…
I asked for Fergie to inscribe his career strikeout total of 3,192. It looks great and will accompany my ’284 Wins’ ball very nicely.
I am very pleased with how my items came out. Each items makes a great addition to my ‘Ultimate Jenkins’ collection.
The Fergie Jenkins Foundation handled my items very well, and I am already seeking the next round of items that I can send their way!!!
Thanks for reading.
Very cool. Fergie’s awesome!
moe.
Moe- Agreed!
When I was in high school, a couple friends and I would frequent a ice skating rink in Oklahoma City to hang out, play hockey, etc. One night, the rink wasn’t particularly busy, except for us an a family consisting of two small children, a redhead and a large African-American man who looked incredibly familiar.
After wracking my brain for a good hour, it finally occurred to me who the man was: Fergie Jenkins.
I approached him and asked him to sign the Cubs had I’d been wearing, and he could not have been any more gracious and friendly.
And he was a hell of a skater too.
George- Great story, Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Have you found a vintage Texas helmet for him to sign?
Matt- No, but I am happy with this one. For my Dawson collection, it took me more than two years to nab an Expos helmet. I don’t know if I want to go through that again…
