Jeremi Warden pitched 5 seasons with Cheyenne and Rochester, mostly as a closer. He pitched 349 innings in 299 games, posting 154 saves in 178 oppurtunities. He struck out 222 batters while posting a 1.25 whip and 2.99 era. He is the Sharkey's World single season saves leader, with 53 in season 5, his last year in the majors.

Catching Up With The Offseason
First off, I apologize about not getting any HOF ballots out. It should have been out day 1 of spring training, but as you all know, that was Thanksgiving. Seeing as how I had to cook for 30+ people, WiS wasn't a priority. Also, no one sent in any players. This is likely because no one truly historic has retired yet, but I still want the oppurtunity to go through the retired list for each of the last 7 seasons to make sure we're not missing anyone before I post the official ballot.
Until then, here's a quick post capping each teams biggest move(s) or lack thereof this offseason. No commentary or anything on the moves, just an easy way to catch up on all 32 teams.
*The Atlanta City Slickers signed Willie Tapies to a 4 year, $36 million contract, with a $2 million signing bonus, a no trade clause, and a team option for a fifth year.

Owners Up For Hall of Fame Induction
I've decided to put all new HOF Posts on this blog, in order to keep the HOF less cluttered. Once this years voting is over, I will delte the posts that are already on there. The HOF Blog will be reserved only for bios of players in the HOF, as well as details of each seasons voting history.
Here's the first post pertaining to the potential Class of Season 8. The following managers were in our league at some point in the first seven seasons, and I have decided they warrant discussion about a potential spot on the ballot.
Even I do not believe all of these members are deserving of making the HoF, but that decision is not up to me alone, so therefore the list is a little longer than who's qualified, and the HOFC will narrow it down even more, and then the entire league will make the final decision.

Catching up with season 1 stars
It’s been seven seasons since Sharkey’s World began, and we are starting to get to a point where some of the stars from early seasons are starting to age and retire and being replaced by players who weren’t even in the game when this world was created. Here’s a look back at the MVP and Cy Young winners from season 1 and where they are now.
Season 1
NL MVP: Troy Harper. Harper, who hit 73 home runs back in season 1, is now 37-years old and seeing his ratings quickly fall, but still has a significant roll with
AL Cy Young: Willie Tapies. Still a one of the top pitchers in the game, Tapies has moved around multiple times since being named the
NL Cy Young: Gary Wood. Wood was unable to get back to the 20-win plateau after season 1, and by season 3 was out of the
List of other season 1 All-Stars who no longer on a Major League roster:
Jeremi Warden (Retired)
Lorenzo Gardel (
Wally Collins (Retired)
Dwight Weaver (Retired)
Curtis Cook (Retired)
Trevor Bradford (Retired)
Philip Ramirez (Retired)
Stevie Mateo (Retired)
Juan Johnson (Retired)
Michael Morris (Free Agent)
NL
Fausto Fernandez (Retired)
Billy Philips (Free Agent)
Joe Baldwin (Free Agent)
Julio Servet (Retired)
Rich Roosevelt (Free Agent)
Justin Krause (Retired)
Happy Kirby (Free Agent)
Nolan French (Retired)
Willie Brown (Free Agent)
Mike Gardner (
Bubba Wall (Retired)
Jesus Soto (Retired)
Clarence Perez (Retired)
Johnny Linden (Retired)
Eugene Ryan (Retired)
Phillip Petrov (Retired)
A shift in the balance of power...
Through the history of Sharkey's World, there have been two undeniable truths. Kansas City is the best team, and the National League is the best league. KC has won 4 world series and 5 pennants in 7 seasons. It's closest competitor in championships is Texas with 1 world series & 3 pennants.
One argument that hasn't been so cut & dry, though, is the best league. While the AL racked up 4 of the first 6 World Series, the NL dominated interleague play every year. And in most years, while the case was made that KC was the best team that season, and equally compelling case could be made for some variation of Rochester, Pawtucket, Scranton, Texas, San Francisco & Colorado Springs rounding out the Top Five.
Then two things happened in Season Seven that may forever change the perception of this world. The first was the rest of the American League remembered how to play baseball. Let us not all fool ourselves into thinking KC tooka step backwards, and thats why they only won 107 games, as opposed to their normal 115-120. In years past there were usually 2 other good teams in the AL. Two of Fargo, Iowa City & Charleston. This year, his entire division, as well as Jacksonville, joined Fargo & Iowa City in the "good teams" list.
Don't let KC's 20-10 divisino record fool you. He went on a tear at the end of the season that made it look much more impressive. For the longest time all 4 teams in the division had at or near .500 division records.
The NL still won division play, but you could no longer make the argument that it had over 50% of the leagues Top 10. And in fact, the NL has recently fallen into what hindered the AL for years. A top heavy/bottom heavy league. Going into season 7, you can clearly say right now that Rochester, St Louis, Pawtucket, Norfolk, Texas, Memphis, Richmond, Colorado Springs & San Fran can make the playoffs. And you can clearly say that Cleveland, Vancouver, Scranton, Huntington, New Orleans, Salem & Tuscon will not make the playoffs.
Meanwhile, in the AL, the # of teams that won't make the playoffs is 5: Detroit, Atlanta, Hartford, Houston & Little Rock. The other 11 teams can all make the playoffs this year.
OK, 11 & 9 aren't convincing arguments. But who are your top dogs? Texas & Pawtucket in the NL. Rochester looks like they're coming on strong. Norfolk has made 2 of the last 4 NLCS's. Colorado Springs has not proven they can do anything in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, in the AL, would it surprise you to see any of Fargo, Iowa City, Jacksonville, KC, Fresno, Cheyenne or Scottsdale in the world series?
The league parity has shifted to the AL. The World series rings are piling up over there. And I expect in season 8, for the first time in SW history, the final interleague standings to show the AL being the better league.
A crossroads, we've reached.
