Monroe Randolph Stark (January 19, 1885 – December 1, 1924) was an American college baseball coach and professional baseball player who coached the Mississippi A&M Aggies, now known as the Mississippi State Bulldogs to a 22–4 record in 1909.[1] He then went on to play shortstop for the Cleveland Naps and Brooklyn Dodgers from 1909 to 1912.[2]
Stark was killed by gunfire in Memphis, Tennessee[3] and is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Memphis.[4] The man who shot him, Harry Atkinson, later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to five years in prison.
