Recently acquired Toronto Blue Jay David Price is using social media to find a young boy wearing a homemade Price jersey, with the intent to give him a real one.
Jays fan Jennifer Duplessis tweeted a photo on Friday night of two kids wearing Blue Jays jerseys, one with the name “Bautista” and the other with the name “Price” taped onto the back.

This caught of attention of the Jays’ new ace pitcher, who tweeted Saturday morning, saying: “#jays fans please find out who this kid is and or his parents Twitter handle!! His Price jersey will be waiting.”

In another tweet, Price asked Duplessis to send him size information so he could have a real jersey sent to the child.
This guy belongs to you @jjay6555 ?! If so please send me his size and address in a direct message for his own real jersey!!
