His special issue was released for his 80th birthday in 2005, two years before his death.<\/p>\n<p>Jenkins, who also played basketball for two years with the Harlem Globetrotters during the 1960s, collected stamps briefly as a boy, when he was delivering The London Free Press in Chatham, \u201cbut I was more into sports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to seeing the artwork when I get to Toronto,\u201d he said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By IAN ROBERTSON, Toronto Sun Ontario-born baseball legend Ferguson Arthur Jenkins is getting Canada Post\u2019s stamp of approval.
