fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 17/04/2026there was a game against the braves back in 03 or so, and i got her and i tickets in centerfield so she could yell to you. in that game, andruw jones made a laying out, over his shoulder catch that still gets played on highlights and she shrugged it off. doug wouldnt have had to dive. 000 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 17/04/2026doug, i wish my grandmother lived long enough to hear your podcast era. you were her favorite player, but i’d just like to have another decade or two to talk baseball with her. 001 0

fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 17/02/2026can we prioritize executives and managers who could get in as players? i think joe torre got a pretty raw deal too. 000 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 27/01/2026only 43 people in baseball history who hit 60 war aren’t in the hall. between joe jackson’s last season in 1920 and ken boyer’s first in 1955, there’s only wes ferrell on the outside of the hall. 000 0

fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 21/01/2026i just wish the hall would change the writers votes to be a minimum of ten choices instead of a maximum of ten. 020 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 21/01/2026only because the writers are really bad at this and they let both jim edmonds and kenny lofton fall off the ballot. 020 0

fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 20/01/2026you guys are all great at helping me find the bright spots to this loathsome process. thanks for tolerating my grumbles. vote ten! 010 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 19/01/2026i’ve been comparing these public votes to the earlier ballots they’ve covered, and find that rarely, even when guys vote 10, they rarely get all ten right, but we are not yet at the end of time. 000 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 19/01/2026if i could gripe, i’d grumble something about andruw jones, but he hit the mark. 000 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 19/01/2026every ballot from the dawn of the hall to 2020, excusing 1988 had 10 or more guys get elected, why vote for less? can you not see how ten of these guys helped define the game for this generation? the hall will right the wrongs if the writers don’t, the hall of famers just die before they do. 000 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 19/01/2026also, wvery ballot up to 2020 except for 1988 had ten hall of famers on it. this will not be the exception, nor eventually will be 1988. 2020-present will get there in time, even with ped users clogging things up. 000 0

fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 19/01/2026so far, for me, it dies when the hall of fame vote is announced, but comes roaring back about 10 months later. 010 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 18/01/2026i just want everybody to vote for 10 guys. one ballot from 1936-2020 didn’t have 10 future hall of famers. i imagine that will rectify soon. there are always ten. 010 0
fred @fpkerner.bsky.social · 18/01/2026a true dream scenario would be seeing utley, abreu and hamels getting elected. 100 0
