ESPN To Feature Tampa Lefty David Price

USA - David Price was the Tampa Bay Rays #1 overall pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft. A 6 foot 6 inch left-handed pitcher, Price throws in the high 90s and is expected to make an impact in the Rays pennant race this fall.

He was born and raised in Murfreesboro, Tenn., to a bi-racial family. After a dominant high school career, Price enrolled Vanderbilt University and came close to quitting the baseball team after his freshman year to work at McDonald’s.

In a special E:60 profile, Price tells correspondent Michael Smith how close he came to quitting the game he loves, and why his $100,000 BMW is filled with video games, dirty clothes and shoes.

Tune into ESPN’s newsmagazine show E:60 on Tuesday, September 2 at 6 p.m. CT to watch the entire feature on former Commodore standout David Price.
