Shawn Anthony Chacón (born December 23, 1977) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.

His mother placed him in a Greeley, Colorado, foster home when he was aged four, and he was adopted by Tony and Blanca Chacón.

[3] Chacón never was recalled back to the majors and finished the season with a record of 5-11 while walking 60 batters in 119 innings.

Chacón was Colorado's 2003 All-Star representative, having won 11 games before the All Star break; the only other Rockies pitchers to have done so through 2015 are Aaron Cook (2008), Jason Marquis (2009), and Ubaldo Jiménez (2010).

He allowed more hits than innings pitched, and while on the road his ERA was even worse, standing at 7.56 and notching only 15 saves.

In 2005, Chacón was 1–7 with a career low 4.09 through 13 games before being traded mid season to the Yankees, ending his five-year tenure with the Rockies.

A few months prior to the trade, Chacon told a sports reporter that nobody wanted to pitch at high altitude Coors Field because the ball would not curve in the light air.

The Rockies traded Chacón to the New York Yankees in July 2005 for minor league pitchers Ramón Ramírez and Eduardo Sierra.

The incident began after Chacón repeatedly refused to leave the team dining room to speak with Wade in his office.

On May 1, 2009, Chacón signed a one-year deal with the Newark Bears of the Atlantic League and started seven games, pitching to a 4.29 ERA with a 3–3 record.

[14] His performance with the Bears earned him a minor league contract with the Oakland Athletics organization on June 18, 2009.

On October 5, 2009, Chacón was arrested at a bowling alley in Greeley, Colorado, on charges related to unpaid gambling markers in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He faced a felony charge in connection with three bad checks written for $50,000 to Caesars Palace.
