Can the vast knowledge on FCB help? I have searched and searched, but I can't find any reference to him having the nickname "Fudge" or ever being called "Fudge" casually. I have even tried to contact his charity, but have yet to receive a response. Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks! I'm a huge collector of the 05 Absolute Memorabilia set which is how I stumbled across it in the first place. I knew I had to have it. To top it off, it's numbered /10.

I seem to have stumped the HOF! Here was the response I rec'd today.

"Dear Bryan:


I referenced our clippings file on Fergie Jenkins this morning, as well as various media guides that we have on file for the teams that Fergie played for during his career. In addition, I consulted a pair of other sources, one being a book on baseball autographs, and found nothing on Fergie signing as "Fudge." According to most sources, he seems to have most commonly signed as "Fergie" or "Ferguson."

Sorry we couldn't be of more assistance. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

Sincerely,
Don Eckerson
HOF Library Volunteer"


Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions? I think I may need to get in touch with Mr. Jenkins personally to get to the root of this one.
