Former Vandy great David Price is living the high life but vowing to avoid the traps into which many

He accepts all the responsibilities as well as the trappings that go along with his current state of affairs — such as the guy in the black, hooded sweatshirt.

“Last year when we were in Philadelphia, a teammate and I were going to Ruth’s Chris and two guys ran after our cab for about three miles,” Price says. “Then one of the guys tried to sit with us at our table. The manager came up and asked, ‘Are you expecting a third to your party?’ I was like, ‘No.’ He said, ‘I didn’t think so.’ When he went back up there the guy had already run out the door.

“He was in black sweatpants and a black hoodie and he just wanted to get my autograph. ... That was a little weird.”

I'm surprised that there are such manic David Price fans in Philadelphia. Unless the teammate he was with was Pat Burrell.

It is sad when you see a pro athlete in public, and from a distance you see some fan/groupie/idiot in their face and not just for five or ten seconds, but a long time, with the athlete looking around for a cliff.
