Danny Price

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danny Price is the head coach of the Florida International University baseball team, a position that he has held since 1980. During that span, he has become one of the few collegiate baseball coaches to record a thousand coaching victories, having reached that milestone on March 10, 2005.

Price, the son of a sharecropper born in North Carolina, attended FIU and played on its baseball team as a student in 1973-74. He made the first hit for FIU, which had opened its doors a year before. He graduated in 1974, and returned as a hitting instructor in 1976.

Former FIU baseball players coached by Price include MLB star Mike Lowell, and over one hundred other students signed to play professional baseball with major league and minor league teams.
