Cubs historical sleuthing: Fergie Jenkins edition

With MLB’s lockout continuing, I am going to post a lot of Cubs, Wrigley Field and baseball history items here, so that we can remember good times from the past.

For this one, first, credit where due, and also there’s some additional information about this photo below, because I had to crop it to fit it above:

Now. Fergie says “taken by a Cubs fan in 1970.” Presumably that’s from the “70” on the border of the photo. If you’re not old enough to remember these, often photo processing places did this for photos back in the day, so you’d always have an indication of when it was taken.
