Price recorded 3 hits over his limited time on the field, resulting in a batting average of .231.

Although Price's time in the major leagues was short-lived, he was part of a generation of players who contributed to the revitalization of baseball after the devastation of the war. His career, though modest in terms of statistics, illustrates the perseverance and determination of many athletes striving to make their mark in the game during a time of significant change.
