Elvin Clark "Buster" Adams (June 24, 1915 – September 1, 1990) was an American major league outfielder for the St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies in 1939 and between 1943 and 1947.

[1] He spent a year playing in the Western Association before moving to the Pacific Coast League (PCL) for the 1936 season.

Adams was in spring training with the St. Louis Cardinals in March 1939 when his jaw was fractured after he was struck with a thrown ball.

[3] In May 1941, Alan Ward of the Oakland Tribune wrote that Adams had been playing with a stomach illness for a couple of seasons.

Adams played mostly in center field; a slot had opened up in the outfield because Stan Musial was serving in the military.
