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.
