Doc Adams Bob Caruthers Jim Creighton Jack Glasscock Paul Hines Dummy Hoy Bobby Mathews Tony Mullane Al Reach George Van Haltren ! ! !Biographies compiled by Adam Darowski and Joe Williams. All references to Wins Above Replacement (WAR) use the version published on Baseball-Reference.com. Doc Adams Born: November 1, 1814, Died: January 3, 1899 Years as Player: 1839–1862 Position: Pioneer ! The title “Father of Baseball” has been bestowed on a handful of gentlemen since the early days of our national pastime. Daniel Lucius Adams is among them. A graduate of both Yale and Harvard, Adams helped shape the game as we know it today. As a young physician in New York City, “Doc” played a form of baseball as early as 1839 and became a member of the famed Knickerbocker Base Ball Club in 1845, about a month after the club was formed. In 1846, Doc was elected vice president of the Knickerbockers and played in the famous “first” game between clubs on June 19 at Elysian Fields in Hoboken, New Jersey. The following year he was elected president of the club, a position he held for the next three years and would serve again from 1856 to 1858. ! In 1848, he headed the committee to revise the rules and by-laws of the Knickerbockers. As a player, Adams is credited as being the first shortstop in 1849 or 1850, first as an intermediary to receive the relay throws of the outfielders, but later moving up to the infield. The lefty batter played regularly and productively into his forties.
