The 21st Annual Doc Adams Old Time Base Ball Festival took place on August 4 & 5 at Old Bethpage Village Restoration and even rain couldn’t dampen the spirits of the participants and fans. In 2015, this longest running annual vintage base ball festival of its kind was renamed in honor of Daniel Lucius ‘Doc’ Adams. This year’s festival once again lived up its reputation as a must for baseball fans, history buffs, and anyone looking for a a day of outdoor fun.
Marjorie Adams once again was on-hand this year as she continued to educate festival attendees about her great-grandfather, Doc Adams, a long-overlooked founding father of the National Pastime. Hopefully, he will be recognized and enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021 (next election takes place in 2020).
