Darrah Dean Stone (born September 1, 1930 in Moline, Illinois) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. After pitching for United Township High School in East Moline, Illinois, the 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m), 205 lb (93 kg) left-hander was signed by the Chicago Cubs as an amateur free agent before the 1949 season. He played for the Washington Senators (1953–57), Boston Red Sox (1957), St. Louis Cardinals (1959), Houston Colt .45s (1962), Chicago White Sox (1962), and Baltimore Orioles (1963). He also played one season in Japan for the Taiyo Whales (1964).
Stone is perhaps best known for being the winning pitcher of the 1954 All-Star Game without retiring a single batter. This took place at Cleveland Stadium on July 13. He entered the game with two out in the top of the 8th to face Duke Snider, with the American League behind, 9–8. Red Schoendienst, the baserunner on third, tried to steal home and Stone threw him out at the plate. The A.L. then scored three runs in the bottom of the 8th and won the game 11–9, as Virgil Trucks hurled a scoreless 9th inning to save it.
