Fergie Jenkins wins the National League Cy Young Award

Fergie Jenkins is presented with the 1971 National League Cy Young Award at Wrigley Field.
 

 

Twice, Fergie Jenkins had gotten so close to a Cy Young Award that he could taste it. After finishing in second for the award in 1967 and third in 1970, in 1971 Jenkins finally broke through. On Nov. 3, 1971, he was named the NL Cy Young Award winner, becoming the first Cubs pitcher and first Canadian to win the award.
