Mark Douglas Higgins (July 9, 1963 – March 22, 2017) was an American Major League Baseball first baseman who played in six games during the 1989 Cleveland Indians season.
A native of Miami, Florida, Higgins played college baseball at Chipola College and the University of New Orleans. While at Chipola, Higgins was selected by the Texas Rangers in both the January and June phases of the 1983 MLB draft, but did not sign. After the 1983 season, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League.[1] He transferred to UNO for the 1984 season, and led the Privateers to the College World Series, a first for a Louisiana college. Higgins set the New Orleans single season home run record (24), and is a member of UNO's Athletic Hall of Fame.
