Price attended Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley,California,and the University of California,Berkeley,where he played college baseball for the California Golden Bears baseball team.

[12] In particular,he was upset that a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter saw catcher Devin Mesoraco on his flight,and then tweeted the catcher wasn't available to play during a game in St. Louis because of injury. [13] In the rant,Price used the variations of the f-word 77 times and 11 other profanities.
