I didn't really have a horse in the Boston-Tampa series, and I don't watch baseball until the playoffs. So Sunday night was the first time I saw David Price in action. The rookie Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher got his team out of a jam, striking out Jason Varitek among other accomplishments, and preserving TB's victory and ascent to the World Series against Philly.
As I watched Price, I thought: This guy is the Obama of baseball. He's young, gamine, in a light-skinned black man (might even be bi-racial), "inexperienced," but cool as an ice cube under pressure.
Then lo and behold, what happened yesterday? Obama had an event in Tampa where he was introduced by...David Price! Life's always interesting.
