50+ years after his playing career, Price is still behind the plate

Jim Price update
The longtime Tiger radio announcer is doing more than calling broadcasts in this league, he is actually playing! Yes, the guru of "the art of pitching", a man who knows of no town that is not a 'nice area', is back in his catching gear and helping (or hurting!) the 1968 Tigers
Price has been filling in once in a while for probably-should-be-a-Hall-Of-Famer Bill Freehan, but his contributions have almost all been on defense (3e5 with a +0 arm). He has just one hit in 36 at bats for a .028 average, OBP of .103, slugging .111, and OPS .214. He did finally get a hit though, using the "ol' buggywhip" to crack a home run off of 1961 Frank Lary!
