In choosing his uniform number for the Los Angeles Dodgers, David Price was careful not to pick something that could send the wrong message to his new teammates and fans. After initially selecting number 18, he thought better of the idea.
During the Dodgers Zoom Party on Monday, Price explained that he chose not to wear 18 in case fans thought it was in reference to the 2018 World Series when the Red Sox beat the Dodgers. He didn’t want to make it appear he was rubbing the championship in anyone’s face. Price won Game 2 and the clinching Game 5 for Boston.
