Adam Stern
Adam James Stern (born February 12, 1980) is a Canadian Major League Baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent.
He bats left-handed, and throws right-handed. He was dubbed the "Canadian Babe Ruth" by Cleveland Indians outfielder Trot Nixon. Stern is the second Jewish player from Canada in major league history. The first was Goody Rosen. He, Kevin Youkilis, and Gabe Kapler set a record for most Jewish players on a team at once since the expansion era.
Stern is primarily a line drive hitter to all parts of the field, with occasional power. He has good speed, and is a smart base runner. Defensively, he has a strong and accurate arm, and can play all three outfield positions.
