Ferguson Jenkins

At the end of four innings, the Cardinals two and the Cubs one.

Ferguson Jenkins against Bob Gibson.

They were rained out last night.

Two balls, one strike to Tony Taylor with Don Money waiting on deck.

Brown is hitting 250, 10 homers, 36 runs batted in.

At the end of five full innings, the Cardinals two and the Cubs one.

Ferguson Jenkins, 20 and 15, against Bob Gibson, 22 and 6.

Pitch is in for a called strike.

The change-up is ball two.

Seaver and Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs were the only National League pitchers to defeat every opposing club.

The 2-0 pitch.

[ball hitting glove] Three and nothing.

And the Cubs, under pressure, were starting to lose their cool.

Actually, the Mets were losing three to one in the ninth.

And the Cubs' top pitcher, Ferguson Jenkins, had them handcuffed when Ken Boswell came to the plate.

That's in the air to center, and Don Young now, huh, comes up after hanging back and he can't get it! Boswell's on his way to second.

Four men have struck out six in an All-Star game.

Most recently, Ferguson Jenkins a couple of years ago in 1967.

Fastball down the middle.

Strike two.

Certainly no threat of rain at this moment, and we should be able to get started and get rolling on what should be a pretty good ball game.

Ferguson Jenkins for Texas, Mike Jaurrez of Boston, and all the big bats of the Rangers and the Red Sox here in cozy Fenway Park.

That's the Ranger warm-up show for tonight.

We invite you now to stay tuned for Ranger Baseball next on the Texas Rangers Baseball Network.

We had 19 runs last night.

We had 8 home runs and 14 extra base hits.

And tonight we've got two fine right-handers, Ferguson Jenkins and Mike Jerez.

And the story with the wind blowing out to left field tonight will be, will the good pitching prevail or will the green monster out in left field devour yet a couple more pitching staffs and will give us another... run-scoring thriller as we had last night.

Lauren Brown, along with Harry Carey and Jimmy Piersall from Comiskey Park, as the Chicago White Sox conclude a two-game set against the Boston Red Sox, and in quest of their second victory in a row, trying to sweep this two-game set.

In that effort, the Sox are sending right-hander Bart Johnson to the mound, and he'll be opposed by the veteran right-hander Ferguson Jenkins of the Boston Red Sox, who will be making his second start of the young campaign.

The Red Sox have yet to win a ballgame.

The White Sox want to continue their nosedive here this afternoon.

Dwight Evans will bat in the eighth spot, and he'll be in center field.

And Butch Hobson will bat ninth, and he'll be at third base.

On the mound, Ferguson Jenkins.

Now the Chicago White Sox take the field.

And the batter, Jim Sundberg intentionally passed his last time up as Trout tries to retire the side in order [crowd cheering] for the first time tonight.

[crowd cheering] It'll be Ken Kravick going in the ninth cap against Ferguson Jenkins.

Here's the pitch.

[bat hits ball] And it's a ball outside.

Alan playing in left field.

Here's the pitch inside a ball.

[cheering] Game two it'll be Ken Cravic going against Ferguson Jenkins.

Looks like Mike Squires also loosening up down there.

This Adolfo Phillips has turned out to be some sort of star for the Cubs.

He was acquired from Philadelphia along with Ferguson Jenkins, who also is quite a pitching star.

They have done quite a job for the Cubs.

Now Hands this time tries to bunt and misses strike two.

Phillips holds at second base.

Two balls, no strikes.

In that deal that saw Ferguson Jenkins and Adolfo Phillips come to the Cubs, the Cubs gave up Bob Buhl and Larry Jackson Jackson is scheduled to pitch against the Mets Tuesday night in Philadelphia.

The Mets have scheduled Tom Seaver.
