1776 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I knew this news could come any day. It still hits hard. When I read the news I couldn’t even tell my wife. When I finally gave it a try I did what I was afraid I would do, I choked up and couldn’t finish my sentence. Jim was a good man with a good heart. RIP Mr. Price. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasTiger Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I never forgave him for making the final out in the only WS game I ever attended. I think I'll let it go now. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Tonight we saw the art of pitching. Dan Dickerson gave "yellowhammer" one final go. The catcher hit a home run and caught a shutout. The weather was beautiful. A former #12 was the radio analyst. Squat in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just talked it about it on the air in Ann Arbor. I ended my break with "Jim Price was from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.......nice area". I think most people would take that as a tribute and not a joke. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Mayhem Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The nicest man I have ever met. I've shared the story many times around these parts but at the 2006 ALDS game (Bonderman game), Philpott and I were hanging down near the batting cage behind the net. He came over and just chatted with us for a good ten minutes. He was just incredibly happy to engage with us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirks mentioned the running gag that the dozen duo had over the jersey numerals on the broadcast last night. Paraphrasing a bit but: Price: "That number still has some hits left in it. I saved some for you". Dirks: "I can't believe they're letting me wear it. It should've been retired by now." Price: "You know, that's a pretty good point. I gotta talk to somebody about that." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Late to dropping a comment, but Jimmie wasn't always the best color guy, but I grew to appreciate him more toward the end..... he had been there basically every step of the way in terms of my fanhood. He'll be missed greatly. Edited August 11, 2023 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to drive me batty but I grew to appreciate him and it became obvious that he and Dan really enjoyed each other's company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbomb13 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Count me in with that as well. Over the last decade+ he grew on me and listening to him and Dan just felt like home and Summer. He will be missed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben9753 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 He always just felt authentic to me. A big difference between the radio guys and the tv crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
