Jackie Price
John Thomas Reid Price 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 while hanging upside-down or throwing three balls to three different players in one movement - and was dubbed "the Clown Prince of Baseball" for his other antics which also included releasing a pair of five-foot Boa constrictors onboard 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".
On October 2, 1967, Price committed suicide by hanging himself.
