Early Life
Prim was born in Salitpa, Alabama, to Scots-Irish parents. As a youth, he burned his right hand. As result, though naturally right-handed, threw with his left-hand, though he batted from the right side of the home plate.
He was educated in Jackson, Alabama, and attended college at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, where he lettered in baseball and football.
