Former Detroit Tigers’ catcher Jim Price, a member of the classic 1968 World Series winning team, has passed away at the age of 81.
Price had a five-year run as a major leaguer, all of which he played for the Tigers. The club acquired him from the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1967 and called him up. Price would play for the Tigers from 1967-1971.
Of course, for most of us, Price is best known and will long be remembered as a color commentator on Tigers’ radio broadcasts, and in particular for his over two decades partnership with play-by-play man Dan Dickerson.
