Aaron S. Stern

Aaron S. Stern (c. 1854 – April 3, 1920) was an American clothing firm executive and theatrical producer.

He is best remembered as an executive with the Cincinnati Red Stockings, a major league professional baseball team, during the 1880s.

[3] With Justus Thorner as team president,[3] the 1882 Red Stockings finished in first place in the American Association.

[9][c][d] Although personally generous, as an owner Stern was considered a penny-pincher, cutting salaries and costs in order to keep the team afloat.

[1] Stern died in Cincinnati in April 1920 and was buried in United Jewish Cemetery there.
