abstract	Kenneth Jerry Adair (December 17, 1936— May 31, 1987) was a professional baseball player for the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, and Kansas City Royals from Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Adair was signed by the Orioles out of Oklahoma State University in 1958 for a $40,000 bonus. He was only an average hitter throughout his career but was able to hang around for thirteen seasons on the strength of a fantastic glove. He was one of the best defensive second basemen of his era, setting then-major-league records for single-season fielding percentage (.994) and fewest errors (5) in 1964 and following that up by leading the league in fielding percentage again in 1965. Despite these records, he was beaten out for the Orioles' 2nd base job by Dave Johnson (later a manager) in 1966 and traded to the White Sox. He was then traded to the Red Sox, and was a part-time infielder during their pennant winning year of 1967, sharing playing time at 2nd base with Mike Andrews in the 1967 World Series. After leaving major league baseball, he played in Japan for a year and later coached for the Oakland Athletics (1972-74) and the California Angels (1975). He died in 1987 in Tulsa, Oklahoma
