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. That number includes 43 major league parks.
Kern also worked for ESPN Stats and Information from 2006 to 2017.

Sorry to read about Doug's passing.
I wonder how many stats & facts we all heard/read over the years, that he was responsible for - many without even knowing it was Doug !
The Game is now a poorer place.
It's sad that we only fully appreciate these people after they are gone ......
As a reader and follower of Doug's brilliant baseball essays and stat blurbs for over 15 years - words cannot express how devastated I am. Wondered why he hadn't updated kernels of wisdom for a while and so I googled him and DAMN.
