  • Overlooked Legend Award 2014 Preliminary Election Nominees
    SABR Nineteenth Century Committee Overlooked Legend Award 2014 Preliminary Election Nominees Biographies compiled by Adam Darowski and Joe Williams. Doc Adams Born: November 1, 1814, Died: January 3, 1899 Years: 1832–1862 Category: Executive/Pioneer It would be fair to bestow the title of one of our National Pastime’s “Founding Fathers” to Adams. He played a form of baseball as early as 1832 and became a member of the Knickerbockers in 1845. As a player, Doc played in the famous “first” game, June 1846, between clubs at Elysian Fields and has been credited as being the first to play shortstop in 1849/50. The lefty batter played (at first base, second base, and third base as well as shortstop) regularly and productively into his forties. When not playing, Adams often umpired. Off the field, he took a leadership role with the Knickerbockers, including six terms as president. In 1848 and 1853, he headed the committees to revise the rules and by-laws of the clubs. At his suggestion, the first baseball convention of ball clubs met in 1857 to formalize set rules between clubs which led to the formation of the National Association of Base Ball Players. In 1858, Adams was elected president of the convention and was the first chairman of the Rules Committee. Doc played a crucial role in the establishment of several key aspects that make up the game of baseball, which include nine players per team, the nine-inning game, ninety feet between bases and catching the ball on the fly to record an out.

  • It All Began in Iowa
    Fred Clarke: It All Began in Iowa by Angelo Louisa A belief in fate, a love for land and baseball, and the state of Iowa may sound like the answers that Ed McMahon would give to Johnny Carson when the popular comedian and talk show host was doing one of his skits as Carnac the Magnificent. But actually, they are three components that came together to launch the successful multiple careers of Winterset native Fred Clifford Clarke.1 For the casual baseball fan, the name Fred Clifford Clarke may mean nothing. But for the student of baseball history, Clarke’s name conjures up visions of the fiery player-manager of the Louisville Colonels and Pittsburgh Pirates who guided his teams to numerous first-division finishes, four pennants, and one World Series championship out of two attempts while fashioning a Hall of Fame career for himself as a hard-hitting left fielder, an aggressive base runner, a daring defender, and a courageous competitor. Indeed, “Fearless Fred” or “Cap,” as he was known to his teammates, was one of those rare major leaguers who probably could have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as both a manager and a player. As a manager, Clarke won 1,602 games, had a winning percentage of .576, and suffered through only five losing seasons out of 19. When he was just 24 years of age, he took over a struggling Louisville franchise that had come in dead last the previous year, and within less than three seasons, he had it playing nearly .500 ball.
