StewPod #7: David Price talks Tigers, social media and baseball brotherhood

This is The StewPod, our weekly baseball podcast with a dash of pop culture. If you dig us, please subscribe on iTunes.

One of the best things about Detroit Tigers pitcher David Price is that he's just as much of a baseball fan as anybody. He truly enjoys the game, his fellow players and the opportunities baseball affords him. That's not just money, either, that's a front-row seat to watch Miguel Cabrera do Miguel Cabrera things every day.

"This is a brotherhood," Price tells The Stew. "The coolest part for me is just to get to meet different people, to have different relationships, to get to know people on a personal level that you see on ESPN on an everyday basis doing really cool stuff in their sport. To me, that's what I'm always going to take away from this game, the relationships that I've been able to make."

Price has no problem praising a player on another team (it helps if he's a Vanderbilt pitcher, but hey) and he'll tell you how honored he is to be an ambassador in the Delta Dugout program along with people the caliber of Mariano Rivera and Matt Harvey. The program — check it out here, if you're interested — offers fans the chance to win baseball memorabilia, flights and pre-game VIP experiences.

With July upon us and baseball a lot more interesting these days, Price joined this week's StewPod to talk about a litany of things — the pre-game mood in the Tigers clubhouse, how players use social media, how the trade deadline affects players rumored to be dealt and the relationships he's made around baseball. It's an enlightening chat with one of baseball's best pitchers and we think you'll enjoy it.
