howardTed, I agree w/you completely. K/BB ratio is an underappreciated stat and Fergie is an underappreciated pitcher. Not only was his home park (Wrigley) a hitter's paradise it also had no night games. Therefore Jenkins had to pitch more games than other contemporary pitchers in stifling daytime heat. Pitching 300 innings a year this surely wore him down as the season progressed.
