Hartford's "Harbor" of Legends
The honor of the first player to get inducted into the "HARBOR" goes to, OF-Jeremy O'Herilhy.
O'Herilhy roamed the OF for the Pooners for 10 seasons before a cost cutting move had him play his final season in Columbus. When Jeremy Retired he was most known for being the All time leader in Stolen bases in FOOL History with a mark of 642 swipes. He also holds the all time Pooner marks for: Career VORP with 266.2 Games played with 1436 At bats with 5291 Runs with 963 Hits with 1,461 Singles with 1,013 Home Runs with 153 RBI's with 733 Stolen Bases with 593 Walks with 541 He finished up second all time for the Pooners in: Doubles with 244 Triples with 51 His totals at the time of this honor are: 26th all time on the Most Games Played list 23rd all time on the Hits list 20th all time on the Singles list 30th all time on the Home run list (pretty impressive for a leadoff hitter) 11th all time on the Runs list 1st all time on the Stolen Base list. He was a 3 time all star selection and, and won Fielder of the year twice (he would have won more of those however I never had a CF) There is no question Jeremy Will be one of the top players to have ever played in a Pooner Uniform and its only fair that he be the first to Go into the Harbor.

Let this be a lesson to all kids out here. Coke can derail your career and shorten your life.
God speed, Andy Nolan. God speed.
