About Don Prince

  • Donald Mark Prince (April 5, 1938 – November 8, 2017) was an American professional baseball player.

  • He stood 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) tall and weighed 200 pounds (91 kg) 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.

  • He issued a base on balls to the first man he faced, Joe Christopher, then hit the next batter, Frank Thomas.

In 1996, Prince was convicted in a murder for hire plot in the Federal District Court in South Carolina.
  • Prince received a 17 and a half year sentence for attempting to have two people murdered by an undercover police officer he believed to be a hit man.Prince died November 8, 2017.
