Doug Kern, a tireless pursuer and chronicler of baseball oddities (@dakern74), passed away during the night of August 8-9, 2022, at his home in Bristol, Connecticut. Kern was only 48 years old. No cause of death has been made public, but he may have suffered a heart attack while sleeping.
Kern also posted lengthy weekly recaps, based on his numerous tweets, at Kernels of Wisdom. His website featured a few cool pages, such as "Every Score Ever", as well as a list of the 244 baseball stadiums* (covering 47 states and three Canadian provinces) at which he attended games.
