George Oscar Sharrott (November 2, 1869 – January 6, 1932) was a 19th-century Major League Baseball pitcher.
Sharrott was born in New Brighton, Staten Island and worked as a printer, playing amateur baseball and cricket in his spare time.
[1] Manager Dave Foutz found that his pitching staff was struggling from the newly instituted mound distance of 60 feet and 6 inches and, after a poor performance on a road trip in July, added Sharrott to the roster.
He was the team's youngest pitcher at 25 years old, leading to teasing from his older teammates.
[2][3] In 1897, a few months after his final season of minor league baseball, his wife, Grace, filed in the New York Supreme Court for a separation on the ground that he was "lazy," per the Brooklyn Eagle.
