The Doc Adams Birthplace Classic was planned to be held today in Doc’s hometown as part of Lamson Farm Day. Unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances led to the cancellation of this year’s event.

After much discussion and consideration, it is with regret that we inform the followers of this page and the good folks of Mont Vernon, NH, that the Knickerbocker Experience will not be holding a game on Lamson Farm Day on September 28th. We hope to bring this game back to the Farm in the future.

We look forward to the event’s return to next year.

The Doc Adams Birthplace Classic is a celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Daniel Lucius Adams, an early founder of base ball and native son of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. Adams was born in Mont Vernon on November 1, 1814 to Daniel Adams, MD and Nancy Mulliken Adams.

In 2016, the inaugural Doc Adams Invitational was held in Andover, MA. In 2017, it was moved to Doc’s hometown of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire and subsequently renamed the Doc Adams Birthplace Classic. The Birthplace Classic is typically held in conjunction with the annual Lamson Farm Day. Lamson Farm Day, the last Saturday in September, is a Mont Vernon day of festivity at the Lamson Farm with displays by various groups in town.

In support of this year’s event, Governor Christopher T. Sununu of New Hampshire issued a commendation that was to be read between games of the planned doubleheader. Regrettably, with the cancellation of this year’s event, that was not possible. However, it is shared here and will be read when the Classic returns to Mont Vernon next year. We greatly appreciate Governor Sununu’s recognition of Doc Adams.
