1927

Wilmer Ebert Shantz (July 31, 1927 – December 13, 1993) was an American professional baseball catcher and manager.

Born in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Shantz began his pro career in 1948 in the Athletics' farm system and played continuously through 1962, including his two full seasons in MLB.

In relief of Yogi Berra, he caught the final inning of Jim Coates' 10–0 shutout victory and did not have a plate appearance.

Shantz served as a player-manager in Panama.
