Old Tricks and a Few New Ones For Jackie Price
Jackie Price, baseball's top trick artist, brings old feats and new stunts to Memorial stadium in Cedar Rapids Sunday at 2 30 p m. He performs head standing catches batting upside down and throws to three catchers at once plus tricks like driving a jeep while catching flies and sling shot throws. Price began 15 years ago to have a different fallback if not an MLB prospect and has trained to hang upside down up to 18 minutes despite repeated injuries.
