Default 1906 Washington Americans

The 1906 Washington baseball team lost 95 games and finished next-to-last in the American League. The team was led by player-manager Jake Stahl. Stahl's managerial record across two seasons in Washington and another two in Boston is not impressive. And though he was a World Series champion in 1912 and led the American League in home runs in 1910, he is best remembered as the acknowledged eponym of the term "jaking it", a baseball phrase for faking an injury to stay out of the lineup, or otherwise loafing.
