Marjorie Adams, who tirelessly promoted the candidacy of her great-grandfather Daniel Adams, a 19th-century founding father of baseball, for the Baseball Hall of Fame, died on July 7 in a hospice in Branford, Conn. She was 72.

She was tireless. She would show up at our vintage baseball games where there were certain to be only tens of onlookers to spread the word.

Interesting article, thanks. I must say, I don't think I ever heard of this fellow, which reflects the uphill battle that Marjorie Adams fought.
