Richard Martin "Rick" Hader (March 31, 1958 – November 1, 2017), better known as Myron Noodleman, was an American clown who performed at Minor League Baseball games and other public events.

[1][2] Since 2004, he was billed as the fifth "Clown Prince of Baseball", following Arlie Latham, Al Schacht, Jackie Price, and Max Patkin.

[3] Hader's performances as Myron Noodleman began when he showed up at a school football game in the late-1980s dressed in full nerd regalia.

Myron's persona was reminiscent of the nerdy Jerry Lewis characters of the 1960s: he could be manic and disruptive one moment, and patiently pantomimic the next.

Baseball's Hall of Fame has yet to recognize Noodleman as heir to the Max Patkin legacy, though as of 2006 no rival claimant has disputed the title.
