Short Hops: Cecil Fielder by Ryan O'Hanlon
17 May 2011 by TedRyan O'Hanlon is the sports editor at the Good Men Project Magazine. He's still trying to figure out how to use Tumblr and you can follow him on Twitter @rwohan.
Cecil Fielder should’ve worn baggy pants. He used to be able to dunk a basketball. He named his son Prince (does he think he’s a king?). He struck out three more times than he hit. I only remember him from a flimsy Detroit Tigers card I got in a cereal box and a season-and-a-half with the Yankees. But I think he was good sometimes, and I know his name makes no sense. Nothing, really, about Cecil Fielder makes any sense. That’s why he’s the first baseman of the 90s.
