| Urban James Shocker, born Urbain Jacques Shockor (August 22 1890 in Cleveland, Ohio - September 9 1928 in Denver, Colorado), was a Major League Baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns from 1916 to 1928. The right-handed hurler had four consecutive 20-game-winning seasons with the Browns in the early 1920s. After his release from the Yankees in 1928, Shocker entered an exhibition tournament in Denver. He pitched in just one game on August 6 against a team from Cheyenne, Wyoming and fared poorly in that outing. Around this time, he contracted pneumonia and was hospitalized shortly thereafter. He passed away from a weakened heart caused by the disease.
