MLB Pitcher David Price Is So Excited For Football Season He Practiced In A Full Vanderbilt Uniform

David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays practiced prior to Wednesday night's game in a Vanderbilt football uniform, complete with a helmet.

But just wearing the uniform was not enough for the Vandy alumnus. He played catch in the uniform and even threw a bullpen session while still wearing the helmet:

For good measure, Price had Matt Moore throw a ball at his helmet from point-blank range as pitching coach Jim Hickey watched. This would likely lead to a suspension if this were the NFL:

Here is Price standing with Hickey before the game...
