Who will be there on the games in 2008

This Cy Young Award-winning pitcher was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991, after a long and stellar career, first with the Chicago Cubs, then with the Texas Rangers. He won 284 games in his time on the mound, setting a modern Cubs record with 236 strikeouts in 1967, raising that record in each of the next three years, ending up with 274 strikeouts in a single season. In 1971, the year he won the Cy Young Award, he not only led the National League with a 24-13 records and 263 strikeouts, he batted .243 with six home runs. Talk about well-rounded!

And we talk about Ferguson Jenkins!
