Pitching Phenom Makes Bulls Debut
Downtown Durham will be in for a treat Wednesday night.
David Price, the first overall pick in the 2007 Major League Baseball draft, will pitch for the Durham Bulls just down the street from Rick Hendrick Chevrolet.
In honor of the occasion, special baseball fans shopping for a vehicle can receive special deals from the staff of Durham's No. 1 dealership.
Price's first pitch Wednesday against the Norfolk Tides is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Price, who played collegiately for Vanderbilt, may not be on the Bulls' roster very long. He reportedly is being groomed to join the roster of the American League's Tampa Bay Rays, Durham's parent club and one of the top teams in Major League Baseball, by Sept. 1.
So far, Price has been equal to the hype. He is 11-0 as a professional pitcher (7-0 in class-A Vero Beach and 4-0 in double-A Montgomery, Ala) -- compiling a 1.89 ERA and holding opponents to a .206 batting average.
Wednesday will mark Price's triple-A debut, although he has pitched previously in Durham Bulls Athletic Park. As a member of the 2005 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, he went 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA in five games, tallying 39 strikeouts and 13 walks over 28.2 innings.
Wednesday's excitement will spread to the Rick Hendrick Chevrolet showroom, which will be open until 9 p.m. People at the dealership may feel as though they are at the game as a large and loud crowd is expected at the game.
So, come on down and join the fun
