The Vintage Base Ball Association is a strong advocate for getting “Doc” Lucius Adam’s into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams contributions to the game have been documented in the “Laws of Base Ball” first presented to the New York area ball clubs on January 22, 1857.
Doc Adams played the game, created base balls and bats, was the President of the Knickerbockers, and was elected as the presiding officer of the first conventions and Rules Committees to standardize the rules of the game. In addition he created the shortstop position, advocated for nine innings, and nine players per side, set the distance between bases at ninety feet, and advocated for the “fly game.”
Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams as a significant pioneer of baseball deserves to be voted in to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He is truly the father of the modern game of baseball.

The boys and girls of summer were unable to gather at Old Bethpage Village Restoration for the 23rd Annual Doc Adams Old Time Base Ball Festival due to the Coronavirus pandemic. It’s a shame to miss the opportunity to play … Continue reading →The Chicago Salmon will not be playing their match with the Milwaukee Cream Citys in Wisconsin. It has been canceled out of an abundance of caution and care for the team, and their families, as a result of Mayor Lori Lightfoot's announcement, Monday, July 27, that Wisconsin will be added to the list of states where anyone spending 24 hours or more will be directed to self-quarantine for 14 days.

It's nice to see people stepping up and being responsible. It's been the irresponsibility that has put us all in this position to begin with.
Our next game will be this coming Sunday in Valparaiso, Indiana, July 26 at 1:00 PM. We will play at the Valparaiso Lookouts (Colonels) site in Valparaiso at 1:00 pm. We are the home team :)
We will be playing at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Valparaiso Indiana. 1700 Monticello Park Drive. Pull in the back lot.The field is to the southeast corner of the property.
The weather report for Sunday in Valparaiso calls for a temperature of 88 degrees and partly sunny. As you will recall when we played there last year there was no shade. If you have a pop up or golf umbrella you may want to bring it to the game.
So far I expect to see Lawman, Iron Jaw, Scooter, Barber, Whiplash, Sketch, Flapjack, Pipes, Dizzy, and Zeus, possibly Buddha at Valparaiso.
Keep in mind that Governor Eric Holcomb announced Indiana will begin mandating face coverings statewide starting Monday, July 27. The mandate will apply to anyone 8 years old or older in indoor public spaces, commercial entities, transportation services and outdoor areas where social distancing is not possible. Holcomb said it will continue as long as its needed.Exemptions will be made for medical purposes, strenuous physical activity, and eating and drinking.

The following Saturday, August 1, we will be at Milwaukee, WI to play the Cream Citys at 1:00 PM. I will let you know more about the exact location next week.
Once again, our plan is to play the rest of the games on the 2020 Chicago Salmon Schedule, weather and health conditions permitting. We will play our remaining Lincoln Park "home" games on an alternate site for safety reasons, either in Illinois or Indiana. Please check chicagosalmon.org to stay up to date.
