While Fergie Jenkins may have secured his Baseball Hall of Fame resume with the Chicago Cubs, he was still a very good Starting Pitcher with the Texas Rangers where he would be the American League Cy Young runner up in 1974 and still post a decent record of 93 and 72 as a Texas Ranger.  Jenkins went into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991 and the Rangers Hall of Fame in 2004.
