Front Office Staff

Since moving to the Twin Cities in 2004, Sharrer continues to make the St. Paul Saints one of the more successful minor league baseball teams in the country. His hard work and dedication has been rewarded the last three years, receiving Executive of the Year honors in the American Association from 2015-17. He oversaw the opening of CHS Field in what was an historic record breaking year for the organization. The record breaking first year was topped in 2016 when the Saints finished seventh in all of minor league baseball in average attendance and number one in percent capacity at 117%. They have topped minor league baseball in percent capacity three straight seasons, averaging 115% capacity over that time.

Upon beginning his career in Fort Myers, FL with the Goldklang Group’s Florida State League franchise, the Whiteland, IN native rose through the ranks of the Miracle quickly, ascending to the GM’s chair in 1997. As part of the job there, he worked extensively with the Miracle’s parent team – the Minnesota Twins – during spring training. The Miracle consistently bucked the trend of poor Florida State League attendance and led in that department under Sharrer.

In 2001, he moved to Charleston, SC. The RiverDogs, a Tampa Bay affiliate at the time (they are currently linked with the Yankees) in the Class A South Atlantic League, set attendance records every year Sharrer was there. With the help of such interesting promotions as Nobody Night (when fans weren’t allowed into the ballpark until it was an official game), the Riverdogs drew a team record 259,007 fans in 2003. Charleston mayor Joe Riley thought so much of Sharrer that he helped organize a special day in his honor before he left to join the Saints.

The days in St. Paul have been just as magical, leading a staff that has come up with promotional ideas that have gained national attention. Everything from Bud Selig ties, to the Michael Vick Chew Toy, to the incredible Bobblefoot, to the World Record Pillow Fight in 2015.

“St. Paul is a special place to live and work – particularly if work is minor league baseball,” Sharrer said. “The Saints’ tradition – thanks primarily to our fans – was established long before I arrived. I’m just thrilled to be a continuing part of it.”

Sharrer resides in Woodbury with his wife Kandice, sons Sullivan and Lawson. “My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed our time here,” he said. “We are looking forward to many more years to come.”

Sean Michael Aronson was born Jose Tariq O'Shansky on May 13, 1977 on a farm in the Virgin Islands. He along with his peasant parents, made their way to the United States as part of the witness protection program where young Jose had to change his name to Sean. They moved to the mountains in Montana where Sean grew up wrestling bears and chasing wolves in the middle of the night. He lived a life of hard ship owning one pair of torn pants and and shoes made from card board. He vowed to "make it big" and give back to his parents who had 5 jobs each just to make ends meet. Sean left the country side of Montana for bigger things in LA where he was a cast member on the original Real World. It was there that he was discovered and came up with the idea of Survivor selling the rights to Mark Burnett. He made his first million at the age of 17 and made it to the Fortune 500 at the age of 19. He got into broadcasting as a hobby at the age of 23 and got his first broadcasting job at 24. Two years later he landed a job with the Miracle and after four years in Fort Myers, Sean wanted to move to a place with cold winters and below freezing temperatures to toughen him back up as he felt he became too soft living in 80 degree weather each day. He is now the broadcaster for the Saints and fans can find him shoveling snow on the highways, in the middle of the night, in nothing but shorts. His E True Hollywood Story titled "From the Outhouse to the Penthouse" is due out early next year.
