David Price nearly saw his life flash before his eyes and then he just laughed it right off

The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays, two of the best teams in the American League at the moment, are beginning their latest series on Monday night. With the Yankees just 2.5 games back in the division after this weekend, the Blue Jays are looking to gather some distance in the standings. Monday, their ace David Price is on the mound.

Well, their ace nearly saw his life flash before his eyes on the first batter of the game, but everything thankfully turned out alright.

Price was on the mound in the first inning to get things started as he faced Jacoby Ellsbury. Ellsbury ended up hitting an absolute rope back in the face or Price, but he was able to put those reflexes in action and he snagged the ball for the first out.

While the catch was pretty amazing, what might actually be more telling about this play is the fact that David Price laughed afterwards. HE LAUGHED! If that were most of us, even if we caught it somehow, we’d be laying on the mound in the fetal position crying.

Not David Price, though. He’s not scared. (He probably was, he’s just really good at hiding it)
