William Ralph "Shorty" Price, (October 3, 1921 – November 1, 1980) was an attorney and perennial political candidate from the state of Alabama, mostly noted for his colorful "clown" persona.
A native of Barbour County, he studied in the University of Alabama, where briefly he was a roommate of future Governor George Wallace .
Price ran for many public offices in Alabama, but only won one election - as an alternate delegate to the 1952 Democratic National Convention.
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.
