BIO: James Lyman Price was born in 1941 in Harrisburg, PA and died in 2023 in Washington, MI. He played major league baseball from 1967 to 1971 as catcher for the Detroit Tigers, and appeared in the 1968 World Series. He has been a broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers since 1993, working television through 1998 and radio since 1999. In the latter role, he has sometimes added play-by-play to his analyst duties.
Ronald Lavern Hansen was born in 1938 in Oxford, NE. He played major league baseball from 1958 to 1972 as shortstop and 3rd baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Washington Senators, New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals, and was selected in 1960 as an All-Star. Hansen was the 1960 American League Rookie of the Year and is best remembered for turning an unassisted triple play on July 30, 1968 for the Washington Senators. It was the only unassisted triple play in the Major Leagues between 1927 and 1992. Ironically, Hansen also hit a grand slam off the Tigers' Pat Dobson two days later, but was still traded to the Chicago White Sox on August 2. He was a member of the Milwaukee Brewers coaching staff from 1980 through 1983 and a coach with the Montreal Expos from 1985 to 1989.
