HERE ARE SOME GREAT PICTURES :

 

David Price emerged as a shinning star in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series by recording the final four outs to defeat the Boston Red Sox, 3-1. He is the first overall pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft by the Tampa Bay Rays after a remarkable career at Vanderbilt. His fantastic gaming spirit has left great memories in the first season of the Big League.

 

David Price proved his worth when The Rays had a 3-1 lead in the series and were seven outs from clinching in Boston with a 7-0 lead in Game 5. The Red Sox staged an amazing comeback, scoring eight runs to win and followed up by winning Game 6 in the Rays to force the series to seven games.

To his credits, he also has 14 regular credits under his belt. He jumped ahead of the count 0-2 and struck out Drew on a 97 mph fastball to protect the lead. In the ninth, he walked Jason Bay on a full count, struck out Mark Kotsay looking on a 96 mph fastball, struck out Jason Varitek on an 87 mph slider and got Jed Lowrie to ground into a force out. Price has always had the talent to be a major star; And that’s when this outstanding star was born.

 

Price’s save was a nail-biter, with every fan at Tropicana Field on edge, many of them looking terrified with every pitch. After winning the game catcher Dioner Navarro gave Price a huge hug and wrestled him down with a mob of teammates rejoicing their winning.

 

Price, who recorded his first career major league save, got the win in Game 2 of the ALCS by recording two outs in the 11th inning and watching his team win it in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly.

For the series, Price worked 2 1/3 innings of scoreless relief and allowed no hits and two walks, while striking out four.
