SHARK HAS SPRUNG

Greetings Shark Fans,
I know many of you thought we had left you. To be completely honest, we weren't sure if we were coming back. Scratch that, that is a lie to make you feel better. Sharkadina is now a living part of us and will never die (whether we like it or not). - Sharkadina

WELCOME BACK SHARK FANS!

Though it may not feel it, spring has sprung and the Shark is back in action. Gone are his days of Washington Nationals red (sadly) as this year, the Shark reports in Cincinnati Reds...red.  That's right, Roger Bernadina will be competing this year to snag a spot on the Reds' Opening Day roster.  And the Shark is ready. For further proof, read this article.  Or, if you're feeling lazy, just read the below quote from the article.

“I’m focused on a new year,” he said. “I’ll do what it is to perform on the field.”

The only thing that could prevent the Shark from making the roster is the strange-but-true fact that one of his teammates, Chad Rogers was once attacked by a bull shark. Though it's surely not a joking matter, I imagine it looked something like this.

While going to games won't be nearly as easy, we would love to keep the Shark nickname alive in Major League Baseball.  With Tyler in Chicago to catch games when he's playing the Cubs, and Terry in DC to catch Shark vs Nats games, we're ready for the 2014 season.

We leave you with this somewhat blurry shot of the Cincinnati Reds Spring Training camp.

Can you spot Roger Bernadina?

SHARK VS. NATIONALS

As you all know, The Shark was released by the Nats. You could say he became "independent." He was then picked up by the Phillies and it became clear that he would have to face The Nationals one day. Today is that day.

He will not go quietly into the night! He will not vanish without a fight! He's going to live on, he's going to survive. Today he celebrates his independence day!

This was the hardest Shark Vs. to make. Not physically, because they are all pretty easy when you don't really care about quality. It was emotionally hard to make. Even worse than this one.

We'll be cheering for the Shark tonight and we'll bring you move coverage during the series as The Shark faces his old team for the first time.

Happy Third Sharkiversary!

Three years ago today, we put on shark hoods, went to a baseball game, and screamed "SHARK" at a confused Roger Bernadina. The rest is history.

And now, you can read the complete history of Sharkadina for the low, low price of clicking this link:

Shark Attacks on the Rise in Philly.

For those of you who have been living under the sea, The Shark was released by the Nationals, but was quickly signed by the Phillies. Since then he has been on a roll and today demonstrated (twice!) to Phillie fans why he earned the nickname "The Shark."

First he had a home run saving catch at the wall:

Later in the game he had an amazing shark-like diving catch in center:

Oh and did we mention he hit a home run last night and a two RBI double today? It looks like The Shark is back and better than ever. Just in a different uniform.

Shark-a-rine Sharknado

Behold, the majestic Shark-a-rine, which will be given out to the first 1,000 fans this Saturday night at the Potomac Nationals game:

But that's not all! According to a shark-pun filled press release by the P-Nats, there will be some special guests throwing out the first pitch:

Paying credence to the original Washington Nationals fan duo that are responsible for the inception of Roger Bernadina's nickname, the "Sharkadina" crew of Terry and Tyler will be throwing out ceremonial first pitches at The Pfitz on the night of the Shark-A-rine giveaway. Terry and Tyler can be seen lurking around at Nationals Park rooting on Bernadina and the Nats while wearing hooded shark heads complete with full sets of pearly teeth to show their Sharkadina pride.

Hey! That's us! You do not want to miss this, loyal Shark fans. The game starts at 6:35 and the gates open at 5:00. You're going to want to get there early and sport your Sharkadina shirts and Shark hats and get ready to CHOMP.

More to Come.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARK!!

CHOMP!

More to come.
