Price donates $300K to build field for special-needs kids

David Price is putting some of the record $217-million contract he received from the Boston Red Sox to good use.

The left-hander donated $300,000 Thursday toward fundraising efforts to build Miracle Field, a baseball complex for disabled players in his hometown of Murfreesboro, Tenn.

"It's special," Price said, according to Scott Broden of The Tennessean.

The complex will include lights, a scoreboard, concession stands, and showers, as well as a synthetic turf field that allows disabled athletes to use it.

"One day of a couple of hours of baseball doesn't raise a lot of eyebrows for myself or a lot of other people, but for these kids it's something they look forward to every day of the week leading up till Saturday," Price said. "Just to be a part of that and help put one here in our hometown is very special."
