Patrick Pinak asked this question in FANBUZZ in his article, “How Did Shortstop Get The Name “Shortstop”?”. Of course, everyone who knows Doc Adams’ story already new the answer. It is re-assuring that more people are becoming aware of Doc and his contributions to the National Pastime. This continues to be important in a year that Dr. Daniel “Lucius” Adams should appear on the Hall of Fame ballot for the second time. If he does, and receives enough votes at the 2024 Winter Meetings, he will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame Class of 2025.

Fingers crossed.
