Coaching Career
After the 1920 season, newly appointed player-manager Ty Cobb released Stanage, making room for Johnny Bassler as the Tigers catcher in 1921. Although Cobb did not want Stanage's bat in the lineup, he hired Stanage as a coach in 1925. Cobb allowed Stanage to play in three games in 1925, garnering 1 hit in 5 at bats.
When Cobb left as the Tigers manager, Oscar Stanage became a coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1927-1931. Stanage died in Detroit, Michigan in 1964 at age 81.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
