SEATTLE MARINERS The World Champions Over ST LOUIS CARDINALS 

After reviewing all of the baseball rosters at every level top to bottom, front office personnel, and speaking with some of the top baseball mines in and around the national past-time,  we here at McCabe Magazine have selected the Seattle Mariners as the season 34 World Series Champions. Representing the American League in the World Series will be the St. Louis Cardinals. The Mariners had the best record  in baseball the last 2 seasons, winning 121 games in season 33 and 122 in 32. They were our season 33 choice to win the Robert E. McCabe World Series trophy, however they were upset by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the League championship series 4 games to 2. 

The Cardinals will come out of the AL South, toughest division in baseball to capture its 4th pennant in team history, with the last one coming in S14. St Louis had the best record (105-57) in the AL last season but was swept in the divisional round by the Houston Astros. Leading the Mariners to the World Series will be last year's MVP and Rookie of the Year Award winner Junior Meng (57 HR 135 RBI 33 SB 324 BA 1.131 OPS), All-Star catcher Yovani Morales, Harry Thayer (2B) and Miguel Mesa (20-2, 1.09 WHIP 2.19 ERA) the NL Cy Young Award winner. Here are the players that will lead the Cardinals to the pennant, staff ace and AL season 33 Cy Young Award winner Adam Bradford (22-2, 0.98 WHIP 1.98 ERA), along with All-Stars Winston Stein (3B), Louie Rosa (1B), Yorrick Calhoun (P) and  Don Seaver (P). 

The Playoff Picture

In the American League the Cardinals will beat the Washington Nationals for the American League pennant, and in the senior circuit the Mariners will knockoff the Cleveland Indians to win the National League pennant. The division winners in the American League will be the Milwaukee Brewers, Nationals, Cardinals and the Oakland Athletics. In the National League the titleholders will be the Cleveland Indians, Philadelphia Phillies, Richmond Virginians, and the Mariners.

OWNER of the YEAR SEASON 33

OWNER/ORGANIZATION of SEASON 33

Listed below you will find the Robert E. McCabe Magazine Owner/Organization of the Year Award Winner and our Owner Power Rankings. As you all know, 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. The 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 33 Robert E. McCabe League Owner of the Year Award winner is a back-to-back winner of the Award, and that owner is mark3313 of the Seattle Mariners. This Organization has 566 organizational wins and 250 playoff bonus points, for an organization total of 816 points. The Mariners fell 212 total points short of it's record setting total last year (season 32) of 1028, but still had enough to capture the Owner of the Year Award in back-to-back seasons. The amazing thing about this ownership is they have placed a team in the playoffs at every level, and this is what this award is all about, recognizing competitive owners and organizations from top to bottom.
