Maceo Richard Clark (July 9, 1897 – July 29, 1990) was an American Negro league pitcher in the 1920s.
A native of Chatham, Virginia, Clark attended Howard University where he played college baseball for the Howard Bison baseball team[1] and was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha.[2] He made his Negro leagues debut in 1923 with the Washington Potomacs, and played three seasons for the club, which moved to Wilmington in 1925.[3][4]
After his foray into baseball, Clark graduated from Meharry Medical College and settled in Dayton, Ohio to practice medicine.[2] He also served multiple terms as the head of the Dayton chapter of the NAACP[5] and served on the Ohio Board of Regents.[2]
Clark died in a nursing home in Moraine, Ohio in 1990 at age 93.[6]
