Robert John Shaw (June 29, 1933 – September 23, 2010) was a Major League Baseball pitcher.
His career lasted a decade, and he pitched for the Detroit Tigers, Chicago White Sox, Kansas City Athletics, Milwaukee Braves, San Francisco Giants, New York Mets, and Chicago Cubs. He won 18 games with the American League pennant-winning White Sox in 1959. The White Sox lost that World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games, but not before Shaw defeated Sandy Koufax 1-0 in Game Five.
Shaw was an alumnus of St. Lawrence University.
After his professional playing days were over, Shaw managed the Florida State League's Daytona Beach Dodgers and was a pitching coach for the Milwaukee Brewers. Shaw, 77, died of liver cancer on September 23, 2010.[1]
