Biography

After getting off to a 9–3 start with the Kansas City Blues of the American Association in 1953, Schallock was called up by the Yankees on July 6 when Ewell Blackwell retired.[1] Schallock appeared in 58 Major League games, including 14 assignments as a starting pitcher, and allowed 199 hits and 91 bases on balls in 170⅓ innings of work, with 77 strikeouts. In the 1953 World Series, pitching against the team that initially signed him, the Brooklyn Dodgers, Schallock pitched in one game for two innings, allowing one earned run for a 4.50 earned run average, gave up two hits, struck out one, and walked one batter.

Schallock served in the United States Navy (1943–1945) during World War II on the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea, which was later renamed the USS Anzio (CVE-57). He stood 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m) tall and weighed 160 pounds (73 kg), and attended Marin Junior College. He was born in Mill Valley, California.
