SUPER SEVEN HALL OF FAME EXHIBIT
After all of those years, all of those spring training games, post seasons, all of those records, all of those awards, all of those cheers, all of those good times and some of those farewells, the Super Seven were gathered together at the Mid-West Baseball League’s Hall of Fame this past Sunday night on a stage for the first ever MWBL Hall of Fame video exhibit.
This was historic stuff, and lifelong Chicago Mobster fans seated at tables soaked it all in. Guests saw videos of the Super Seven as young up-and-coming players as well as towards the ends of their careers. It was the first time the public had access like this in a captive setting to the Super Seven for a nostalgic event, with photo opportunities and auction bidding, and it might be a while before it happens again, as the Super Seven gradually scatter to baseball’s wind.
“Winning sticks out,” Sabathia said. “Talking about the clubhouse, we were able to mess around a lot behind closed doors, nobody’s there; we got on each other a lot. We were tough on each other. But I have never been mad at any of these guys. And that’s really tough, because you know what everyone of us is thinking. I’ve never been mad at any of them, and it’s always been fun.”
Was it true that Wagner would sometimes start lecturing the other Super Seven guys in the clubhouse?
“I don’t know if we listened,” Jeter said amid laughter. “Sometime you couldn’t understand a word Wags said with his southern drawl, but we just nodded and laughed along.”
Jeter also said when asked if he was surprised that Wagner’s not in the Mid-West Baseball League Hall of Fame yet, Jeter deadpanned: “I’m surprised, because for years he’s been telling me, Chipper, C.C and Pudge that one day will all be in the Hall of Fame together. He should be there before any of us as he retired before us – and he’s the old one among us”.
A great night of laughter, friendship & fun was had by the now know “Super Seven”.
At the time of this exhibit all information is as accurate at the time.
The Chicago Mobsters Super Seven were then introduced in the Video Presentation below:

The craziest year was 2005. That’s when even Craig Counsell, the man of many jerseys, couldn’t believe the twists his career was taking. “Only to me, this happens,” Counsell says, shrugging his shoulders.
He started with Hollywood that season, but found out — by watching television, no less — that he’d been shipped to the Clovis Wheat Kings, and after 50 games just as he was getting used to that the Wheat Kings, a team official sought him out in the clubhouse before a game to tell him he’d been traded yet again.
“Where am I going?” Counsell recalls asking.
“To the Tempers,” was the answer.
Counsell was dressing in his Wheat Kings uniform for batting practice at the time and recalls thinking, “Should I just go like this on the plane to Tempe?” He laughs while recounting the tale recently and says he put on his street clothes and found his new Tempers teammates – and yet another new uniform – only a few days later.
