Mike Sheahan
|
What a good guy he was. |
Mike Sheahan went to Mendel and St Joe's where he played football. He was on the job until he became 19th ward alderman in 1979 where he served honorably and effectively until 1990. He then served as Cook County Sheriff from 1990 to 2006. This is a guy who is a man's man and always did the right thing. No BS type of person. A true credit to our neighborhood.
The man have never been honored for his achievements. I propose that Beverly Park be renamed for Michael F. Sheahan.
hey was there a car jacking in west beverly lastnight?
ReplyDeleteWho represented our ward better? Sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI second that!

ReplyDeleteWhere are the Community Alerts? Mt. Carmel Student attacked outside Beverly Park. Women has gun put to her head in attempted carjacking just last night..
Blogger has learned just a few weeks ago a Mt. Carmel student was jumped and beaten by a Black Mob just outside Beverly Park. Just last night a women was nearly carjacked outside her residence at 101st & Washtenaw. Two black males approached her, one putting a gun to her head. Fortunately as she screamed for help the robbers took off. Where are the commuinty alerts?
Home on the corner of 103rd and Seeley was cleaned out over the weekend, no one saw a thing. Second break in on that block in past weeks
Delete"On the job" ????????? Why do you cops all assume we are hip to your BS cop talk. Mike Sheahan is a great man. His #1 quality is, even though he is a former cop, he never acts like one.
ReplyDeleteI hate "on the job." Yes, it is BS cop talk. Thanks for addressing that, reader. I noticed it too.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be dead in order to have a park named for you. I think Ridge Park would be more fitting. He coached grammar school boys basketball and boys football there for most of the 80's. He's still coaching 7th grade girls basketball at Ridge to this day! Guess we have to wait till he passes.
ReplyDeleteMike Sheahan is one of the greatest guys to come out of this neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing Mike when he was alderman out in ten below zero with a good wind, taking down some one way street signs that some yahoos had put up.
ReplyDeleteSheahans only mistake? Helping Dart.
ReplyDeleteHey Tap Tap, I remember that cold, one way sign day too!
ReplyDeleteMatt O'Shea has a little bit of Mike Sheahan in him. Just a little bit. It remains to be seen if he
ReplyDeleteJeremiah Joyce was another great alderman.
ReplyDeletejj jr is in a bad mood?
ReplyDeleteplease, these people are politicians. I'm sure they did some very nice deeds but isn't that their job? there are
ReplyDeletereal every day people throughout this ward who do some wonderful things in the ward. stop trying to be the 11th ward.leave the park names alone. remember these alderman for what you want to remember and leave it at that.
Rename Ridge Park ? Really ? No thanks....Sheahan gets high praise for not being a complete a** like the new breed socialist snarky liberals like Dart, Maloney phoney, Fran Hurling, Richie Cunningham, etc.... so we rename little league Sheahan-Beverly Little League....no thanks....I remember talking to one of the Sheahan's brothers....he was telling me all about how the REPUBLICANS were up to dirty tricks.....I nearly spit beer in his face laughing....he gave us DART !!
ReplyDeleteI believe the proposal was to rename Beverly Park. I am all for it as I think Sheahan is among the best. Not at all like dart maloney cunningham or hurley. My God, we elected these people? What does that say about us.
ReplyDeleteMaloney was the one that surprised me.............................. The rest of them I knew it................................
Deletewhy u think dey dumped him
DeleteGreat point....and on a personal level i know some of them and they seem outwardly good.
ReplyDeletei suggest we name a park after that great late jurist JUDGE MALONEYformerly of the Beverly area,a statue would be nice with the inscription give me something to hang my hat on.
ReplyDeleteThey could rename a park for for Mike Sheahan having nothing to do w/politics. He coached ball since the last century, he was a great ref for college ball, he's really funny, his mom was a super nice teacher and gave everyone A pluses and cookies. The most important thing he did though was when he gave us rides to school in the cop car when we missed the bus so we wouldn't get detentions or get our asses kicked by our parents when they got the "late call" from the office. Rename Western Avenue for Gods sakes!
ReplyDeleteMike Sheahan is a great credit to our neighborhood. And a hell of a guy. He should deliver another st joe guy to make up for his mistake of dart. That guy is billy Evans....
ReplyDeleteSheahan made one very big mistake, DART!
ReplyDeleteMike made a huge mistake with dart.... He needs to back bill Evans asap
