We realize that our followers are knowledgeable baseball fans who are fans not only of the game but its history. By referencing a book, “Baseball For Dummies” by late Hall of Famer Joe Morgan with Richard Lally, we don’t mean offend any of our “fans”. We want to applaud this effort to spread awareness about Doc Adams to casual and non-fans. Morgan and Lally highlight Doc Adams and “those magic 90 feet”.

Baseball For Dummies is for baseball fans at all levels, from players and coaches to spectators who love the game. Baseball Hall of Fame player Joe Morgan explains baseball with remarkable insight, using down-to-earth language so everyone from the casual observer to the die-hard fan can gain a fuller appreciation of the sport.

“Ninety feet between bases is the nearest to perfection that man has ever achieved. It accurately measures the cunning, speed and finesse of the base stealer against the velocity of the thrown ball.”

“Daniel Adams must have been a genius.”
