Frank Shellenback Autograph

Frank Victor Shellenback (December 16, 1898 – August 17, 1969) was an American pitcher, pitching coach, and scout in Major League Baseball. As a pitcher, he was famous as an expert spitballer when the pitch was still legal in organized baseball; however, because Shellenback, then 21, was on a minor league roster when "trick pitches" was outlawed after the 1919 season, he was banned from throwing the pitch in the major leagues. As a result, Shellenback spent 19 years (1920–38) — the remainder of his active career — throwing the spitball legally in the Pacific Coast League. He won a record 296 PCL games.

Shellenback was a born in Joplin, Missouri, the son of a machinist. When he was 11 years old, his family moved to Los Angeles, where he graduated from Hollywood High School. He threw and batted right-handed and stood 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg). After attending the University of Santa Clara, he became a professional baseball player during World War I and was acquired by the Chicago White Sox at age 19 during the 1918 season. In 36 American League games during 1918–19, Shellenback won ten games and lost 15, with an earned run average of 3.06 in 2172⁄3 innings pitched.

He appeared in his last MLB game on July 5, 1919, before his contract was transferred to the Minneapolis Millers of the American Association. Although Shellenback posted a 7–3 record there, because of his minor league status, he was not included on a list of "grandfathered" spitball hurlers who would be allowed to continue to use the pitch at the major-league level. He would never again pitch in the majors, but was permitted to continue his career legally in minor league baseball. Read even more about Frank Shellenback at Wikipedia
