Doc Adams Base Ball (Official) Posted on July 7, 2022 by Roger J. Ratzenberger, Jr.September 16, 2023

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since we lost Marjorie Adams, great-granddaughter of Dr. Daniel Lucius ‘Doc’ Adams and his greatest advocate. Although we miss her dearly, today, we remember happier times as we keep her dream alive.

Her goal was to see him recognized with long overdue enshrinement in … Continue reading →
