Richard Atley Donald (August 19, 1910 – October 19, 1992) was a Major League Baseball pitcher.
The Yankees won two American League pennants while he was on their staff (1941 and 1942), winning the 1941 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Donald made his major league debut on April 21, 1938, in a start against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Donald was back for good in 1939, and set a league record for consecutive wins by a rookie.
Beset by eye and elbow injuries and now 34 years old, Donald made his last major league appearance on July 13, 1945.
