Evan Tracy Stallard (born August 31 1937) in Coeburn, VA, was a Major League Baseball pitcher from 1960-1966. He played with the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets and St. Louis Cardinals.

Stallard is best remembered for giving up New York Yankees slugger Roger Maris' 61st home run in 1961. Maris was 1-for-7 against Stallard for his career.

Some Hall of Fame players had a tough time solving Stallard. Willie Mays was a career .200 hitter off Tracy (6-for-30), Willie McCovey stuttered in at .152 (5-for-33, but with 3 home runs), Roberto Clemente hit .138 (4-for-29), and Frank Robinson could only muster a .214 (6-for-28) success rate against the pitcher. Others legends, however, such as Lou Brock (9-for-16) had no problem rattling Stallard around.
