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.

Famous quotes containing the words adam and/or stern:
“Sisters we are, yea, twins we be,
Yet deadly feud ‘twixt thee and me;
For from one father are we not,
Thou by old Adam wast begot,
But my arise is from above,”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“It is even more grim and wild than you had anticipated, a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry. The aspect of the country, indeed, is universally stern and savage, excepting the distant views of the forest from hills, and the lake prospects, which are mild and civilizing in a degree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
