Fergie Jenkins — Mr. Dub? — gets his statue on a day for the ages in Cubdom

Fergie Jenkins looked the part of a legend in a black dress shirt, black slacks, black belt, black shoes and black cowboy hat, with a black handkerchief tucked into the breast pocket of a Cubbie blue blazer.

Cool as hell on a hot day.

Nostalgia was thick in the air outside Wrigley Field on Friday as the Cubs immortalized Jenkins with a statue alongside those of his former teammates Ernie Banks, Ron Santo and Billy Williams. Questions kept springing to mind, too.

How does Jenkins make 79 look so good?

Where in the world does the time go?
