The 2023 Annual Doc Adams Old Time Base Ball Festival was held on August 5-6 at Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

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 see for baseball fans, history buffs, and anyone looking for a day of outdoor fun.

The top 10 weather was enjoyed by ballists and cranks alike.

The Knickerbocker Experience made its 2nd appearance at the festival. Other teams participating this weekend included: Farmingdale Modocs, Cold Spring Spiders, Eckford BBC, Connecticut Base Ball Club of Hartford, Monmouth Furnace BBC, Atlantic BBC, Mountain Athletic Club, Mutual BBC of New York, Providence Grays, Manetto Hill Surprise.

As we continue to honor Doc Adams, the long-overlooked founding father of the National Pastime, we look forward to his opportunity to appear on a Hall of Fame ballot next year.
