1977 Topps Baseball #430 - Fergie Jenkins

• What happened to Fergie Jenkins during his two seasons in Boston? He didn't put up the stats in Boston like he did when he was with the Cubs and the Rangers. Perhaps a torn achilles tendon he suffered in September 1976 had something to do with it. Jenkins especially struggled after the All Star Break - he pitched fewer than six innings in four of his last nine starts and didn't pitch after September 7.
