Jersey Name and Number?


Hall-of-Famer Fergie Jenkins hosted his second annual Fergie & Friends baseball game, featuring several baseball greats in a game against Phoenix-area TV and Radio personalities. With a VIP ticket, we were invited down on the field for pictures and a chance to talk to Billy Williams (who got a hit in the game; I had not seen him get one in 35 years!), Ron Santo, Harmon Killebrew, Juan Marichal -- and Meadowlark Lemon, who was Fergie's teammate for three winters on the Harlem Globetrotters. We were on the field for nearly three hours.
Unless there is a young man named FINALLY! including the exclamation point, the jersey seen here was a comment on this year's Cub team ending the 101-year drought of World Championships.
HOPEFULLY!
