Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography Donald Mark Prince (April 5, 1938 – November 8, 2017) was an American professional baseball player. He had a seven-year (1958–1964) active career, but appeared in only one inning of one Major League Baseball game for the Шаблон:Baseball year Chicago Cubs. He stood Шаблон:Convert tall and weighed Шаблон:Convert and attended Campbell University, Buies Creek, North Carolina.

Prince's Major League audition came after a mediocre 1962 season with the Cubs' Triple-A Salt Lake City Bees affiliate, where he won 10 of 24 decisions and had a high earned run average of 5.31, largely as a starting pitcher.[1] In his one MLB game, he pitched in relief in the ninth inning of a 4–1 loss to the New York Mets at the Polo Grounds. He issued a base on balls to the first man he faced, Joe Christopher, then hit the next batter, Frank Thomas. But Jim Hickman got Prince off the hook by grounding into a 1-6-3 double play and Sammy Drake bounced out to second.[2]

Prince then returned to the minor leagues for the 1963–1964 seasons before retiring from baseball.

In 1996, Prince was convicted in a murder-for-hire plot in the Federal District Court in South Carolina. Prince received a Шаблон:Frac-year sentence for attempting to have two people murdered by an undercover police officer he believed to be a hit man.[3]

Prince died November 8, 2017.[4]
