Frank Shellenback
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 the spitball was outlawed after the 1919 season, he was banned from throwing the pitch in the Major Leagues.〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Spitball〕〔http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Frank_Shellenback〕 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 295 PCL games.
==Relegated to minors by 1919 spitball ban==
Shellenback was a native of Joplin, Missouri, and grew up in Los Angeles. He threw and batted right-handed and stood (188 cm) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg). 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 11 games and lost 15, with an earned run average of 3.06 in 217 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 the spitball ban and his minor league status at the time, he would never again pitch in the Majors.
Minneapolis sent Shellenback to the Vernon Tigers of the Pacific Coast League at the close of the 1919 campaign, and Shellenback began his long career in the circuit. He would hurl for Vernon, the Sacramento Solons, Hollywood Stars, and San Diego Padres, and win more than 20 games five times, with two 18-game and three 19-game winning seasons as well. All told, as a minor league pitcher, Shellenback won 315 games and lost 192 (for a winning percentage of .621), with an ERA of 3.55 over 4,514 innings.〔Johnson, Lloyd, ''The Minor League Register.'' Durham, North Carolina: Baseball America, 1994〕 Shellenback's long tenure with Los Angeles-based teams even led to a brief movie career; he had roles in the comedies ''Fireman, Save My Child'' (1932) and ''Alibi Ike'' (1935).〔http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0787769/〕 Both films starred comedian and baseball enthusiast Joe E. Brown, whose son would become known as a successful baseball executive.
