Observation Post: Fischer Pushes Father And Son Under The Bus

OBSERVING THE MOVEMENTS OF THE MISGUIDED

BATTLE JOINED has observed that in a number of recent posts questioning whether nepotism by Franklin Little League coaches, played any part in the fact that 12-year old Devin Baehr was not chosen for the Little League All-Star team, Franklin blogger and politico groupie, Kevin Fischer opined:

It’s a pretty good bet that those responsible for slighting 12-year old Devin Baehr by keeping him off the Franklin Little League All-Star team never dreamed the story would appear on a community blog and then be discussed by the most popular talk show host on Wisconsin’s most popular radio station.

One of Charlie Sykes’ callers was Franklin High School varsity baseball coach Jim Hughes who has complied over 700 career victories. Hughes told Sykes and his vast audience he had seen Devin Baehr pitch in person and that he truly deserved All-Star honors.

Hughes’ assessment is more than good enough for me.

For whatever reasons or rationale they used, the people responsible for snubbing Baehr flat out messed up. There’s something terribly wrong when the kids of various managers make the All-Star team while a deserving youngster like Baehr does not...

However, of late, we've observed that Fischer is now one of Franklin Little League’s biggest fans. So, why the “180”?

It’s a pretty good bet that that Fischer got the word to back-off Franklin Little League from Alderman Steve Olson (Fischer’s BFF), who was likely “persuaded” to get the "message" to Fischer, from the very politically-connected, David Bartels, former Franklin Little League President and current board member.

This was obviously all Fischer needed to push young, Devin Baehr and his Father Carl, under the bus.

Live and learn.
