Pryor Edward McBee (June 20, 1901 – April 19, 1963) was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who appeared in one game as a reliever for the 1926 Chicago White Sox.[1]
The Chicago Tribune reported in 1926 that McBee's income from baseball was "merely incidental" because he "owns some Oklahoma oil lands." McBee was one-eighth Choctaw[2] and an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation.[3] He attended Jones Academy where the school's athletic director encouraged him to pursue baseball.[4]
While pitching for the Jacksonville Tars during spring training in 1928, McBee struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in one inning.[5]
