Fergie Jenkins

2011 Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp in honor of Ferguson Jenkins and Black History. The image of Jenkins in his Cubs Uniform is taken from the cover of the August 30, 1971 issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. The profile image was taken by John Oddi, Executive Director of the Fergie Jenkins Foundation.

The official Canada Post first day cover was designed by Lara Minja and approved by the Fergie Jenkins Foundation. The reverse of the envelope shows reproductions of Jenkins' baseball cards.

The stamp comes in a booklet form, which was designed to look like a baseball game ticket. It holds ten stamps. The ticket concept was developed by Foundation President Carl Kovacs assisted by Rick McCorkell of Canada Post.
