By doing a slight change to a beautiful and widely unknown argument by E. L. Stark [E. L. Stark, Application of a Mean Value Theorem for Integrals to Series Summation, Amer. Math. Monthly 85 (1978) 481--483.] we get a candidate to be considered as one of the shortest and most elementary proofs of the celebrated Basel Problem. Furthermore, we give a comprehensive list of references on this topic, displayed in chronological order from Euler to present.
