Adam James Stern (born February 12, 1980) is a Canadian former Major League Baseball outfielder. Stern is the second Jewish player from Canada in major league history, following 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 was born in London, Ontario. He is Jewish on his father's side. In his youth, Stern participated in baseball, track and field, and volleyball.
Stern played for the London Badgers Baseball Club in London, Ontario from the age of 16 to the age of 18.
Stern played three years on a baseball scholarship at the University of Nebraska, from which he graduated with a Sociology degree. He hit .356 as a sophomore in 2000 to earn 2nd-Team All-Big 12 honors. In 2001, he appeared in the College World Series, and was named First-Team Academic All-Big 12, as well as an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention, after hitting .292 with 68 runs and 27 stolen bases in 64 games.
He was drafted twice: first, by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 22nd round of the 1998 draft (651st overall), and then by the Atlanta Braves in the 3rd round of the 2001 draft (105th overall), before moving to the Boston Red Sox in 2004 as a Rule 5 draft pick.
In 2002, Stern stole 40 bases in 48 attempts for Myrtle Beach in the Carolina League.
