In effect, ending your and several of your teammates college careers. I could see that making someone wanting to quit and go work at McDonalds.

I can strongly relate to both stories. Twice in college we got a phone call he was coming home. I am glad it stopped after a while (the phone calls).

For Price that may have been his rock bottom, the game that made him a first rounder. The type of situations described here, usually makes for better pitchers.
