Left-handed pitcher David Price had a pretty impressive career at Vanderbilt, but in only his eighth big league appearance, Price has already overshadowed those early days.
 

The No. 1 draft pick in 2007 led the Tampa Bay Rays to the World Series after he forced Boston Red Sox pinch-hitter Jed Lowrie into a forceout at second base to clinch the win. The ALCS series was tied at 3-3 going into the seventh game and Price brought in the final four outs to beat the Sox 3-1. The team will face the Philadelphia Phillies in the upcoming World Series.
 

Not bad considering Price was in the minors in the beginning of the season and the Rays are known for being one of the worst teams in their division. In fact, since their inaugural season in 1998, the Rays have finished better than last place only twice: once in 2004 and then again this year.
 

David Price has talent, but the success probably has more to do with the team’s name change. Once the Devil Rays, named for a scary looking but harmless manta ray, the team is now known as just the Rays, a shining beacon light. A light that can blind its opponents into sweet, sweet submission.
