George Warren "Barney" Schultz (August 15, 1926 – September 6, 2015) was an American professional baseball player and coach. He was a knuckleball-throwing pitcher the Major League Baseball (MLB) for all or parts of seven seasons between 1955 and 1965 for the St. Louis Cardinals, Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs. He did not play a full Major League season until his 18th year in professional baseball. His best season came in 1964, when in just a little over two months with the Cardinals at the end of that season, he had a 1.64 ERA and 14 saves in 30 games, and played an important role in the Cardinals winning the 1964 National League pennant.
