Detroit Tigers' slugger Prince Fielder showed off his batting prowess Monday night, rocking the Home Run Derby.
Justin Verlander on the other hand, gave up five runs in the first inning of last night's All-Star game.
Thanks a lot Prince,
Yesterday the Detroit Tigers surprised the baseball world with news that they've signed Prince Fielder to a nine-year, $214 million deal. A few years before that, a very young (very cute) Prince Fielder and dad Cecil were pitching cheeseburgers for McDonald's.
Take the jump to see two generations of Tigers in this classic Mickey Dee's commercial from 1992.
His daddy Cecil Fielder used to hit balls over the left field roof at Tiger Stadium. Young Prince Fielder used to reach the seats as a kid taking BP at the old ballpark.
Now he gets his chance to reach the rightfield seats in Comerica Park and drive in a ton of runs batting behind American League batting champion Miguel Cabrera.
