(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Harold William "Buddy" Pritchard is an American former professional baseball player and manager. A shortstop and second baseman, he was signed by the Pittsburgh Pirates as a $30,000 "bonus baby" after college baseball stardom at the University of Southern California, but the Bonus Rule then in effect in Major League Baseball kept him on the Pirate roster for his entire rookie season, 1957. Pritchard appeared in only 23 games, with 11 at bats and one hit, a single, for an .091 batting average. Pritchard's lone safety came on May 28 against Don Newcombe of the Brooklyn Dodgers at Forbes Field; it would be his only hit and his only year in the Major Leagues.
