David Price brought his own emoji to the ALDS presser, didn't disrupt the space-time continuum

Price brings his own emoji to ALDS press conference

Blue Jays ace David Price is set to start Game 1 of the ALDS against the Rangers on Thursday, which means he spent Wednesday preparing for that start. Part of that preparation called for him to address members of the media, and Price nearly caused the universe to fold in on itself in the process.

When Price arrived at his ALDS press conference, he had with him a poster and a single cleat that he had apparently brought along for show-and-tell. The poster featured a picture of an emoji of his own likeness and that of his adorable dog, Astro:

That emoji is part of the new MLB.com Clubhouse app, which offers fans hundreds of baseball-themed stickers, including player emojis, ballpark food and team mascots through a keyboard extension for your phone. MLB.com Clubhouse is available in the Apple App Store for free download.

Price and the Blue Jays host the Rangers at Rogers Centre for Game 1 of the ALDS on Thursday at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1 in the U.S. and on Sportsnet in Canada.
