College-educated and independently wealthy, Stahl played baseball for the love of the game. A good fielder, he was generally an indifferent hitter, although he led the AL in home runs (10) in 1910. He managed the Senators to two seventh-place finishes in 1905 and 1906. On his second try at managing, his Red Sox won the 1912 World Championship, but he was dismissed from a dissension-torn team halfway through the next season. Some sources erroneously list him as being the brother of Chick Stahl. (JK)
FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» October 13, 1907: In a three-way trade, the Highlanders receive 1B Jake Stahl from the White Sox and send infielder Frank LaPorte to the Red Sox. Boston sends SS Fred Parent to Chicago.

» April 19, 1908: The National Commission reinstates Jake Stahl and Mike Donlin after fining them $100 each for playing with teams outside organized ball in 1907.

» July 10, 1908: The Red Sox purchase 1B Jake Stahl from the Highlanders.

» July 19, 1909: Cleveland SS Neal Ball executes the 20th century's first unassisted triple play in the top of the 2nd against the Red Sox. With Heinie Wagner on 2B and Jake Stahl on 1B, Amby McConnell hits a line drive to Ball, who steps on 2B and tags Stahl coming down from 1B. In the last of the 2nd, Ball hits his first American League homer, an inside-the-park shot, adds a double. Cleveland wins 6–1 behind Cy Young, but Boston wins the nitecap, 3–2.

» June 29, 1912: At Fenway, the Red Sox sweep two from the Yankees, winning 13–6 and 6–0. Smoky Joe Wood wins the nitecap, his 2nd shutout in a row, allowing just one hit, in winning 6–0 in seven innings. Dutch Sterrett's single is the lone hit. In the nitecap, Hick Cady makes two hits in one at bat. His single scores Jake Stahl from 3B, but umpire Silk O'Loughlin rules that Stahl was balked home. In Cady's 2nd chance, he doubles.

» October 16, 1912: In the Series finale, Christy Mathewson squares off against Hugh Bedient in quest of his first win of the Series. He takes a 1–0 lead into the 7th, but with one out, Boston manager Jake Stahl hits a pop-up to short LF. The ball drops among Art Fletcher, Josh Devore, and Fred Snodgrass. Heinie Wagner walks, and with two outs, pinch hitter Olaf Henriksen doubles home the tying run. Smoky Joe Wood relieves Bedient, and the two aces match zeroes until Red Murray doubles and Fred Merkle singles in the 10th to give New York a 2–1 lead. In the last of the 10th, pinch hitter Clyde Engle lifts a can of corn to CF Snodgrass, who drops the ball. Snodgrass then makes a great catch of a long drive by Harry Hooper. Steve Yerkes walks, bringing up Tris Speaker, who pops a high foul along the 1B line. C Chief Meyers chases it, but it drops a few feet from 1B Merkle, who could have taken it easily. Reprieved, Speaker then singles in the tying run and sends Yerkes to 3B. After Duffy Lewis is walked intentionally, 3B Larry Gardner hits a long sac fly to a retreating Devore that scores Yerkes with the winning run. This World Series was the most butterfingered in history, with thirty-one errors recorded, seventeen for The Giants. The Red Sox earn $4,024.68 each; the Giants' share is $2,566.47 each.

» July 15, 1913: Jake Stahl, hobbled by a foot injury, resigns as Red Sox manager. C Bill Carrigan replaces him.
