    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.
