George Bertrand "Bobby" Prescott (born March 27, 1931, at Colón, Panama) is a former professional baseball player, an outfielder, first baseman and third baseman who had a 19-year career, from 1952–1970, in North American minor league baseball and a brief trial with the 1961 Kansas City Athletics of the Major Leagues. He was a prolific home run hitter during his minor league career, smashing 398 round-trippers in 7,482 at bats, eclipsing the 30-home run mark five times, and twice leading the Mexican League in that category.
Prescott batted and threw right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg). He initially signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1952, and led the Class A Western League in runs scored (137) in 1954. He played in 143 games for the 1955 Hollywood Stars of the Open-Classification Pacific Coast League, then was drafted by the New York Giants. Prescott played five years at the Class A, Double-A and Triple-A levels of the Giants' farm system, and batted over .300 for the 1958–1959 Phoenix Giants before being acquired by the Athletics prior to the 1961 season.
