Baseball Historian Biography

Bob Shaw pitched his first two years with the Tigers and then was traded to the Chicago White Sox in June of 1958. His fine pitching provided the fans with many trilling moments during the White Sox "Go Go" years. In 1959, Bob Shaw was a consistent winner, recording a 18-6 record, he led the AL with his .750 pct, had a low ERA of 2.69 and pitched in 230 innings. Bob Shaw helped the White Sox win their first pennant (1959) since the Black Sox Scandal in 1919. In Game 5 of the World Series, Shaw beat the great Sandy Koufax and the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0. The Dodgers took the series in 6 games. In 1960, Shaw slipped to 13-13. The next year he was traded to the Milwaukee Braves and bounced back in 1962 to a 15-9 record, 2.80 ERA. Alleged to being a spitball pitcher, Bob Shaw denied it and said, "If they don't believe me, it's okay, the more they complain the better I like it". Traded to the S.F. Giants, Shaw's tally of wins rose to 16 with only 9 losses. Bob Shaw's career stats: 108-98, appeared in 430 games with a 3.52 ERA. baseballhistorian.com
