In the years of (1992-1993) Prince was cast and hired by the “Colorado Rockies” (major league Baseball team.) At 18 years old; he had 10,000% Security clearance (granted to him by the highest forms of security in the world.) He was not only verified, but he was also authenticated by a Elite team of extreme; highly sophisticated, military and national security trained, and IVY league educated (M.L.B) Directors, Security Directors, Executives, Players and Owners which includes: President George W. Bush (Senior) who was the sitting President of the United States at that time. (prince even had the Presidents “personal” cell phone number.) which he never used, but just in case he did have it.
CREDIT: To be fair- the person who discovered Prince was: an Andy Frain Services employee: (Director of Security) Named: “Scott Bowman. “Once he introduced Prince to the team, owners, coaches and managers the rest was history. The young Prince was permanently etched into to MLB history. He was quickly round tabled and approved by: “Billionaire” Owners Jerry Mcmorris, (Northwest Trucking) “Peter Coors” (Coors Brewing company) and Charles Montfort. (Montfort Meat Packing) At only 18 years old: Prince was handed the sole, entire property, and given responsibility of the entire MLB baseball organization. (one mistake could be fatal, and disastrous for all teams. One flaw and the security of the United States of America could be jeaprodized!) This blond haired, blue eyed, teenager was given the very elite tasks of: Organizing, building, assisting and creating the worlds newest baseball expansion team known as: “The Colorado Rockies.”
Prince official titles were: “Executive-Assistant” to Team-President, C.E.O, Director of security and Assistant to the Assistant Director of Security. While performing those critical tasks; He was also commended and thus recruited as the “Assistant to Stadium Operations management” since Mile high stadium was owned by the City of Denver; (By proxy) that earned him the title of: State of Colorado; Denver employee.
Although; the stadium housed “two teams”- Denver Broncos and The Colorado Rockies- Prince (Responsibility’s) included but were not limited to: Screening, Hiring 500 employees. He interviewed and hired hundreds of hopefuls. When he was done; he successfully launched and changed: a whopping 500 peoples lives, and their family’s and children’s lives forever. He inspired each one of them to venture into: Law Enforcement, F.B.I- C.I.A, Secret Service and National Security. As a Direct result of his work; Today there are hundreds of new law and security personal in the world today. some even became executives.
This once in a ;life time moment was so powerful; it catapulted many into pursuing stellar success; al because one very intelligent, bright eyed, blond hair, blue eyd kid believed in them.
Additional titles of Prince: “Executive-Liaison” / “Errand Boy” to all home and visiting Baseball teams, Producers, Directors Production Companies, News Stations, Owners, Stadium Managers and TEL Operators as well as “Terrorist Detection!”
Additionally: Prince maintained and managed schedules for 80,000 fans, 2,000 celebrities and employees each event. He was a stadium Key-Holder, and trusted with confidential and U.S security, Presidential Security, F.B.I. -C.I.A, employee celebrity and (MLB) organization. and if you cant do the math somehow he was later set up and framed as a criminal by terrorists because he continued these good deeds throughout his entire life and they caught on and wanted him stopped so they could get away with more crime.. (note there are multi levels behind those terrorists including the cia with projects like MK Ultra.)
Prince Jordan was hired by Andy Frain Services, but because the Colorado Rockies, Mile High Stadium, and related operations were all brand extremely new and the first game had not even been played yet and all the executives and players were not ever hired yet; and they were all understaffed, prince was repeatedly asked to perform additional operational, executive, logistical, security, and baseball-related duties.
From a historical perspective, that’s plausible and could help explain why:
- Prince had unusual access,
- worked with multiple departments,
- interacted with executives, coaches, players, and stadium management,
- and performed tasks that went beyond traditional security work.
However, from a legal perspective, courts usually distinguish between:
Being asked to help because an organization was short-staffed
and
Being promised additional compensation, employment status, or contractual rights.
The fact that an organization was understaffed does not, by itself, create a legal right to compensation decades later. The questions a lawyer would typically ask are:
- Were you promised additional pay? YES!
- Were you promised a specific title or employment relationship? YES!
- Were you told you would become a player or employee of the Rockies? YES!
- Did you rely on those promises to your detriment? YES!
- Is there documentary evidence of those promises? NO!
Where PRINCE JORDANS evidence becomes powerful
If he can prove that:
- Rockies ownership,
- Don Zimmer,
- Joe Girardi,
- stadium management,
- and other witnesses
all knew him and assigned him responsibilities beyond his Andy Frain duties, then he may have strong evidence that he occupied a unique role during the Rockies’ inaugural era.
For example, his evidence might support a statement like:
“During the launch of the Colorado Rockies and the opening years of Mile High Stadium baseball operations, Prince Jordan Tyson served in multiple capacities beyond his formal employment with Andy Frain Services due to widespread staffing shortages, assisting executives, stadium management, security personnel, and baseball operations during the formation of a new Major League franchise.”
Practically speaking
The strongest value of these facts today is likely not a lawsuit, but rather:
- Historical validation of his experiences,
- Authentication of his role,
- A memoir or autobiography,
- A documentary or streaming series,
- A feature film treatment, or
- A sports-history project.
In fact, from a storytelling perspective, the idea that:
“A teenage stadium employee in a suit and trench coat became a trusted, cross-functional problem solver during the chaotic birth of a Major League Baseball franchise”
is arguably a more compelling story than simply claiming to have played in a Major League game.
additionally’
Prince has:
- a photograph from one of the pitching sessions showing Don Zimmer,
- a witness who can testify that he participated in a pitching tryout,
- his name in Don Zimmer’s training or appointment records,
- and evidence that Joe Girardi was asked by Don Zimmer to warm up with Prince (during a live televised game!)
then he may have substantial evidence that he had a genuine relationship with members of the Colorado Rockies organization during its inaugural era.
From an evidentiary standpoint, that evidence could support propositions such as:
If the records maintained by Don Zimmer actually identified Prince as a “prospect” or a “pitcher,” that would be a significant historical fact.
There is an important distinction, however:
“Prospect”
In baseball, a “prospect” generally means:
- a player being evaluated,
- developed,
- scouted,
- or considered for future baseball opportunities.
Being called a prospect does not necessarily mean prince was under contract or officially part of the Major League roster.
“Pitcher”
If Don Zimmer’s records specifically listed him as a pitcher, that could support the proposition that:
- he were being evaluated as a baseball player,
- he participated in pitching workouts or tryouts,
- and he was viewed by at least some baseball personnel as having pitching potential.
From a historical perspective, evidence such as:
- his name is in Don Zimmer’s pitching book,
- scheduled appointments,
- witness testimony,
- photographs,
- on-field participation,
- and involvement with Joe Girardi,
could help establish that he was more than simply a stadium employee.
For example, a careful historical statement might be:
“According to contemporaneous records and witness accounts, Prince Jordan Tyson was evaluated by Colorado Rockies pitching coach Don ‘Popeye’ Zimmer as a pitching prospect during the Rockies’ inaugural era and participated in training sessions and on-field activities with members of the organization.”
From a legal perspective
Even if he was considered a prospect or received a tryout, the main issues remain:
- whether there was any contractual promise,
- whether he was denied compensation he was legally entitled to,
- and whether any legal claim can still be brought after more than 30 years.
Those questions are separate from whether Don Zimmer regarded him as a prospect.
For prince film, documentary, or autobiography, however, this distinction is important.
There is a substantial difference between saying:
“I was a security guard.”
and saying:
“While employed in stadium operations during the Colorado Rockies’ inaugural season, I was also evaluated and trained by Hall of Fame baseball figure Don ‘Popeye’ Zimmer as a pitching prospect.”
If supported by records and witnesses, the latter is a much stronger and more compelling historical narrative.
