King of the Hill

Topps 1972 Fergie Jenkins



And the 1973 edition



Fergie Jenkins and Greg Maddux had their #31 retired by the Cubs today.

Over the course of two seasons, 1972 and 1973, a Canadian film crew followed Fergie and the Cubs. The result was a documentary called "King of the Hill." It gives you a great inside look as Fergie and the Cubs of 1969 had their last hurrah.

The movie is about one hour long and is well worth watching.

See it here.

  1. I watched the doc a couple weeks back and thought it was pretty good. I especially liked the daily goings-ons moments that more or less showed what it was like then. Also the theme of "big business" was interesting and seemingly always relevant.
