Vince Colbert was a right-handed pitcher from Washington, D.C., who appeared in 95 games for the Cleveland Indians between 1970 and 1972, 74 of them in relief. At East Carolina University he was the first African-American to receive an athletic scholarship there and played both baseball and basketball. Cleveland chose him in the 11th round of the 1968 draft, and in his first pro season he went 10-2 with a 1.95 ERA in the Class A Western Carolinas League. He reached the majors in May 1970. His last major-league game came on September 16, 1972. Cleveland traded him to the Texas Rangers that November and reacquired him in March 1973. His career record was 9-14 with a 4.57 ERA and 4 saves. He retired from pro ball in 1974 and entered the East Carolina University Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.
