Former Detroit Tigers catcher Jim Price, who was a radio analyst and color commentator for much of the last 30 years for the team, died on Monday. He was 81.
Price was All-Star Bill Freehan's backup from 1967-71, and played 64 games in 1968, when the Tigers won the World Series.
After his playing career, he shifted to broadcasting. He became the Tigers' color analyst for games on PASS in 1993 and shifted to the radio booth in 1998.
