Jackie Price
John Thomas Reid Price (November 13, 1912 – October 2, 1967) was a Major League Baseball shortstop who played in seven games for the Cleveland Indians during the 1946 Cleveland Indians season. He was known for delighting fans with his skills - such as batting whilst hanging upside-down or throwing three balls to three different men in one movement - and was dubbed "the Clown Prince of Baseball" for antics which included releasing a pair of five-foot Boa constrictors on board a train. Price briefly teamed up with Max Patkin, another baseball clown; together they were described by Boston Red Sox manager Lou Boudreau as the "funniest show I ever saw".
In the 40's and early 50's, Price tour the minor leagues putting quite a show. It included standing on the mound a catching thrown baseballs in the unzipped fly of his uniform. The finale of the show included a compressed air baseball gun that shot baseballs long distances. He convinced local Cadillac dealers to loan him a convertible. He would drive in the outfield and catch balls shot from the gun as they were about to hit the windshield. A bat boy would usually ride along. Of course, no seat belts were worn.
After suffering depression for a number of years, Price hanged himself at his home on October 2, 1967.
