Fesh Archives

This section of the new website will be very loosely grouped, but basically all of the old content will be reformatted and integrated here. Articles written reviewing seasons, reviewing ballparks, and even reviewing which right fielder is the most hated (my money is on D.T. Cromer) will be housed in this general section. If you're longing for the way the website used to look, have no fear. You can still access those pages at http://fesh.freehomepage.com/index2.html We now proceed in no particular order (chronological). Does anyone even know if they still have 50 cent hot dog night? I've heard parking is going to be free this season...sigh.

The Article That Started Fesh Fever!

Christened the Comeback Kid, one of the first things that ever graced our pages was this article by Mark Bechtel. It chronicles Fesh's effort to latch on with the Phillies back in 1998. As was put so eloquently in May of 1999 by Don Knight, "This shows why Fesh is the man..."

THE DAY THE CHEERING STOPPED...

Sean Fesh was more than just a ballplayer to the people of the Scranton Area. He was a hero, an idol, not to mention someone that we all could identify with, and most of all a good friend. His following was the largest of any Red Baron in history, spanning over an entire season and a half. It lives on today thanks to the modern wonder that is the internet. It's slightly humorous and ironic that the team Fesh was traded to is a combination of the SkyChiefs and the PawSox. Sean, you'll be missed deeply, not just by the immediate fan club but by all the kids you've touched and anyone who's ever enjoyed one of our cheers or our taunts. As the Red Baron season winds down, we wish nothing more than for Sean to get the September call-up to Colorado. We hope this is the opportunity that the Phillies weren't prepared to give you. Hopefully Sean's return to the PCL will be a success. In Sean's words, "LATER ON!"
Get vaccinated against Meningitis!!!

FESHPOLLS!!!

Although these have nothing to do with Fesh, I am nevertheless intrigued by their findings!! This is where I ask you, the viewer, to voice your opinion on an issue regarding Red Barons baseball. In order to attempt to clean up the clutter on this main page, I have archived the results of all the Past Feshpolls.

IL FANTASY BASEBALL!! (2001)

My big SWB-related project for the summer of 2001 was the formation of the IL Fantasy Baseball League. We had 10 owners who selected their teams and congrats to Dave Lefchak's Louisville Lock Monsters who defeated my Rochester Wastemen 3 games to 1 in the finals!! The league itself has a page! There you can see rosters, Standings, The Rulebook, and Contact Info for each of the owners in the league!

*2006 Note - I have saved the stuff from the fantasy league to this pay server despite freehomepage.com's seeming indifference to it taking up space. You just never know when they might decide to pull the plug. I left it as it was, which is why is doesn't match the rest of the web.

2005 ARCHIVES

Sean returned to the Phillies organization for the 2005 season. He was a member of the Red Barons until June 19 when he was sent to Reading for the remainder of the year. Sean continued his AA dominance, allowing only 4 earned runs (all in the same outing) in 24.1 innings of work. We did manage to catch Sean in Syracuse, Rochester, and Scranton along with our first trip to Erie's Jerry Uht Park.

Sean Resigns With the Phillies for 2005!!

Fesh fans everywhere are rejoicing at the news that Sean had signed again with the Phillies for the upcoming season! The Red Barons official website reported the news on November 11, 2004. This marks the return of THE FESH to the town that made him infamous!
Other important Red Baron players signed at the same time include Jim Rushford, Mark Budzinski, A.J. Hinch, Buzz Hannahan, and Robert Ellis.

SEAN FESH……Pitched for Red Barons from 1998-2000….Had the Sean Fesh Fan Club tracking his every move with their own website http://fesh.freehomepage.com/ ……Played last season at Richmond and was 1-5 with a 3.74 ERA in 40 games.

News from 2005 Phillies Spring Training:

On March 19th against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Sean got in and pitched a scoreless 7th inning before giving way to Billy Wagner (who throws a little harder) in a 6-4 loss. Sean walked one and struck out one. Here is the link to the boxscore. Sean also got in on Thursday against the Astros and retired the only batter he faced!!

In other news, the old fan club and the man himself managed to get some pub in the Wilkes-Barre paper of all places! Van Rose has written a very nice article which shows that Sean sincerely appreciated our efforts back in the day. I had it linked here, but it has exceeded its free period online and I totally screwed up by not copying it. If anyone has it, let me know. It's from the March 26, 2005 edition of the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the library next time I'm in town.
