The Shoeless Joe League
September 30: End of Regular Season
And then there were four. The second 162 game season in Shoeless Joe history ended for all SJL clubs except Leones de Miami, Harrisburg Heroes, Pennsylvania Plutonium, and Savannah Carpetbaggers, listed in order of their seeds for the upcoming playoffs. The Leones won an impressive 106 games to post the best record for the 2001 season (four shy of the record set by Moline last year), and they did it behind long-time SJL great Greg Maddux, who posted a 24-3 record to tie the SJL record for wins set by Moline's Kevin Brown in 2000. Maddux anchored a Leones pitching staff that has established a new team record in ERA at 3.47, eclipsing the 3.83 ERA posted by the Greens in last year's first 162 game campaign. The Heroes spread the wealth with 5 hurlers posting double-digit victory totals, including Kerry Wood (15-6, 3.29), Andy Pettitte (17-10, 3.54), Wade Miller (16-9, 3.20) C.C. Sabathia (16-10, 3.88), and Jason Marquis (10-3, 3.59) to help them achieve a remarkable 105 win season. No offense was more impressive than Harrisburg's, with 958 runs scored and 266 homers, though both fell short of Moline's amazing 1067 runs and 295 homers in 2000.
Pennsylvania, the hottest SJL club over the past month, rolled to a three game margin over the faltering Cockroaches, courtesy of outstanding performances from A.J. Burnett, Kevin Appier, and Russ Ortiz. These hurlers allowed a collective 4 runs over 23 innings to sweep Baltimore and earn a playoff spot. A fitting climax to the Plutonium's season: two 3-run homers by Barry Bonds in the final game, giving him an SJL record of 77 homers, beating the old mark of 57 held by Mark McGwire that had been established during the last 108 game season in league history and surpassing Bonds' own mark of 53 set last year. The Savannah Carpetbaggers were anchored by three outstanding starts in the final week, as Randy Johnson (22-6, 2.42 ERA, 418 Ks- an SJL record, 92 BBs, .192 OPP BA), Doug Davis (16-9, 3.81) and Eric Milton allowed only 1 run collectively against the Kansas City Whirlwind. That allowed Savannah to sweep KC before taking the first and crucial game against a hot Florida Panther club to ensure a playoff berth by a one-game margin. Ruben Sierra's 2-run double against Ramiro Mendoza was the shot that clinched the playoff spot for the Carpetbaggers. Savannah benefitted from acquiring Sierra from Hagerstown, as the rejuvenated slugger posted a .405 OBP and a .703 SLG for his new club. For the first time, the Shoeless Joe League will have playoffs prior to the World Series, with fourth-seeded Savannah facing off against the first-seeded Leones and 3rd seeded Pennsylvania battling second-seeded Harrisburg in best of seven series.
The Leones de Miami captured the championship of the 2001 SJL season. It was their first title in league history, won by defeating the Harrisburg Heroes 4 games to 1 in the SJL World Series. The Leones first had to overcome the Savannah Carpetbaggers by a 4 games to 2 margin, while the Heroes edged the Pennsylvania Plutonium 4 games to 3.
