Fergie & Friends

Fergie Jenkins is well-known for hard work raising money for various great causes. For the third straight year, Fergie and his Friends offered a celebrity Old-Timers' Game along with on-field opportunities to take photos and visit with the stars. It was my second time and it was great, highlighted by a chance to share a memory about former Angel Rick Miller and his coach, Jimmie Reese -- sharing it with Rick Miller.
But for this old Cub fan, seeing Fergie pitch two innings, allowing a run and being credited with a win was on of two highlights worth the price of admission. The other was a chance to see Billy Williams hit again, getting a single and scoring a run. He is 2-for-2 in the two games I have seen, and it was wonderful to see him hit again after more than 35 years.
