Robert E. McCabe Magazine

The "Robert E. McCabe League" was established in memory of my Dad, who died in 1986, at the age of 59. He was a very special guy, and my best man at my wedding. He served in World War II, and was a Milwaukee Braves fan, with Warren Spahn his favorite player. I met Warren and had him autograph a ball for my Dad. My Dad once told me "Joe Dimaggio was so graceful, I would have bought a ticket just to watch him run out to center field" From our commissioner; Patrick (pat007ohmss) League Founder

OWNER of the YEAR SEASON 29

OWNER/ORGANIZATION of SEASON 29

Listed below you will find the Robert E. McCabe Magazine Owner/Organization of the Year Award Winner and our Owner Power Rankings. This year we at McCabe Magazine will award organizations bonus points for winning the World Series and Pennant at each level. In addition, the owner will receive points for total wins at every level, winning the Division title, and for making the playoffs as a Wildcard. The Owner with the most points will receive the McCabe Magazine Owner of the Year Award. We here at McCabe Magazine feel that a good owner should maintain a solid farm system and a winning major league club. His big league club should be in position to win the division and one or more of the lower level squads should be in position to capture a minor league World Series title. The Owner of the Year should field competitive teams at every level.

Season 29 Robert E. McCabe League Owner of the Year Award winner is a five (5) time winner of the Award, and that owner is Saffron of the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have a total of 551 organizational wins, 345 playoff bonus points, for an organization total of 8896 points.
