Donald “Pro” Prohovich was a true
student/athlete. Maintaining nearly a 3.8 grade point average over
four years, Donald made himself one of Stonehill’s best
baseball players. A second baseman, Donald earned COSIDA Academic
All American honors. He batted .441 and established a
Stonehill-record with 11-game winning hits. A 1970 graduate of
Bridgewater-Raynham where he played basketball and baseball, Donald
was a 1980 graduate of Stonehill. He went on to study dentistry at
Georgetown University. A magna cum lade graduate of Stonehill,
Donald played second base for the Chieftains and earned first-team
All New England honors as a junior and second-team honors as a
senior. At 6-4 he was called “the biggest second baseman in
baseball,” but his size didn’t diminish his fielding
skills.
He and shortstop Bob Wooster combined for a record 35 infield
double plays, a mark which still stands. During his record-breaking
junior year, the Chieftains had their best-ever record (24-5) and
were ECAC Champions. Donald was also selected to the All District
First-Team. He lives in Easton with his wife Sheryl (Hoey)
Prohovich and their son, Kyle Patrick Prohovich.
