Kelder does have a first name but only his Mom uses it. He's been playing fantasy sports since before the internet had sites to do it. Not a member of any important organization but he thinks he's super funny! When not consuming baseball, he enjoys church coffee and food in larger quantities than his doctor would like.

We kinda had an accidental theme here! All the cool kids are looking toward the future and stuff, like here and here. This is my meager contribution! Getting near the end, and I realized I think I only have two weeks left after this! I’m looking to do my next year’s ranks in one of those. […]

I’m back in my first week of school, AKA easy yet soul sucking meetings and sitting around. One thing that I do appreciate, we get permission to use bathroom breaks at any time. And yes, the bathroom breaks are very long and don’t always involve using the bathroom. With rules and school returning, we have […]

It’s now the middle of August. If your kids are back in school, and you’re a work at home person, congratulations! If you, like me, have a driver coming up, condolences! Good luck and enjoy the insurance bill. I’m currently in the Smokies, doing our last ditch summer trip. With the dreaded work week starting […]

The state I teach in recently enacted a no phone bill into law. Like, there are to be no phones in classes, by teachers or students, or something like that. I’m happy and sad at the same time. I love my phone! I named it Bob and call it my third child. Literally. I will […]

Growing up as the son of a pastor, switching schools and moving was part of the deal. I moved in fourth grade, transferred from a small Christian school to a decent-sized public one, moved again at 17, and went alone to college, knowing nobody. Trade deadlines hit different for The Educator. Imagine uprooting your life […]

Don’t worry, it’s still me, the same guy who has toiled at the kitchen table over an iPad covering the corner infield positions. I’m just trying to freshen up a bit. Kelder is boring. The Educator, as a real-life teacher, he’s a stallion. Wavy non-gray hair, no extra 20 pounds being carried around, and a […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?There are two midsummer traditions in my household: the MLB All-Star game and a beach trip with my in-laws. Seemingly every year, I stream the game from a two bedroom cabin with AC and outlets and nothing else. The beach is great. The time and expectations with the in-laws, well, you can probably guess right? […]

This is certainly a transition year in the corner infield position. Stalwarts like Bryce Harper, Freddie Freeman, and Paul Goldschmidt can’t be counted on for much longer. Christian Walker might be cooked. But from the ashes, new blood emerges. Well, it kinda has to, every team needs someone at the positions. It is after all […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Everyone loves a dynamic duo. Frodo and Sam. Iron Man and Spider-Man. Kelder and the toilet. Apologies if you waited with bated breath for my Corners Report last week. Sunday and Monday, I was waylaid by a nasty bug, and had a lot to catch up on, so I wasn’t able to do the research […]

If you are a glasses or contact lens wearer, and you ever accidentally wore your old prescription and tried to do something, you will understand what Max Muncy was going through. Reading street signs is a struggle. Ping pong is not an enjoyable activity. Reading can even stress the eyes. Max Muncy, you see, got […]

Back in my 20s, which is now 25 years ago, lifting weights was my exercise of choice. Bench press. Shoulder press. Tricep raises. Curls. Extensions. All of those things. I’ve recently tapped into my past, trying to get back into the weight game and recover those glorious large arms that have somehow lost their bulk […]

Updating things is often a struggle in Kelder Land. For work, I have been wearing polos and khakis now for over 20 years. My phone, no reason to get a new one unless the battery has gone bad. My truck is a 2008 Silverado. My marriage is 20 years old, but that’s a good thing […]
