Charley Pride at 34 shifts from pursuing Major League Baseball to a career in country music. He has earned two gold records with sales over a million, marking a successful transition from sport to singing stardom.
Charley Pride recalls baseball dreams while recounting a humorous round where he almost stepped on a cotton mouth moccasin. He jokes snakes speed up backswing and notes a past game with Lee Trevino ended in a loss. Pride says baseball’s path led him to national fame and a different kind of major league status at the neighborhood bank.
The second race in a summer series goes on this afternoon at Cycle Ranch with riders from West Texas and New Mexico. Defending leaders are Lee Rodgers and David Fisher of Lubbock, who won the 250cc and 125cc classes in last month’s AMA sanctioned opener.
