I just received an email from the National Film Board of Canada today advertising a new film about Ferguson Jenkins, one of Canada's great baseball heros. Read the synopsis here:
This feature documentary follows one of the greatest Canadian baseball player of all time, Ferguson Jenkins, through the 1972-1973 seasons. From the hope and innocence of spring training to the dog days of an August slump, the camera gets up close and personal at the home plate and records the intimate chatter on the mound, in the dugout and in the locker room. It provides a glimpse into the rewards and pressures of sports stardom and the easy camaraderie of the quintessential summer sport.The website for the film also includes some great classroom activities to use with your students.
