Our mission:
To advance the truth of the origins of the game of baseball and ensure that Daniel Lucius ‘Doc’ Adams is acknowledged for his contributions and achievements in the advancement of the game. For too long, his accomplishments have gone without public recognition or have been credited to others. As more complete and accurate research has documented Doc’s place in baseball history, it is time to honor him with enshrinement into the National Baseball Hall of Fame where he can take his rightful and long-overlooked place alongside the other baseball pioneers.
Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams is one of the early pioneers of baseball. The origins of baseball have always been a little murky and shrouded in mystery. Everyone has heard the now discredited myth of Abner Doubleday, a distinguished Civil War general, being the father of baseball.
Doc Adams’ contributions to the game compare favorably, and some would argue even surpass those of others recognized and enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
