Ralph "Shorty" Price, was an attorney and perennial political candidate from the state of Alabama, mostly noted for his colorful "clown" persona. He ran in the Democratic primaries for Governor of Alabama in 1958, 1970, 1974 and 1978 although he never captured more than 2% of a vote. Price was famous for his antics at Crimson Tide football games, which sometimes landed him in jail. In 1979, after Price pleaded guilty to public drunkenness and disorderly conduct charges following the Alabama-Tennessee game at Legion Field in Birmingham, Circuit Judge William Cole told him "See you next fall" after imposing a $125 fine. Sometimes, when he campaigned, he wore a red-and-white suit covered with the words "Roll Tide." Price was killed in the automobile accident in 1980 at the age of 59.

  • Shorty Price for President

  • That's my granddad

  • I'd forgot about old shorty- he was riot-all four feet twelve of him !

  • @rnbnatl Oh yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. The offseason kills me! Haha. 

  • @XxFidgetxX - yep. Must be that rivalry thing. Sept can't get here soon enough, huh? Should be another crazy season.

  • @rnbnatl Ammo? lol I'm just fuckin' around with you dude. I actually have to commend you for putting up with it for this long.

  • @XxFidgetxX - Seems you're running out of ammo. Message board, comments section, it's all the internets to me.

  • @rnbnatl I also find it humorous that the person calling me an idiot refers to a comment section on YouTube a "message board."  You sure want want to keep this up grandpa?

  • @XxFidgetxX apparently, I do know how, as my previous comments clearly show, but since this is merely a youtube message board, and not a formal writing class - you're an idiot.

  • @rnbnatl I'm still finding it ironic that the person who is calling me stupid doesn't know how to capitalize the first letter of the first word of a sentence.  By all means though keep insisting that I'm the idiot if it makes you feel better.
