I’ll never forget being 7y/o at spring training as a young aspiring baseball player and asked him his diet. His response “well my girlfriend is a vegetarian and doesn’t like meat in the house…I get McDonald’s on the way home a lot.” He then signed as much stuff as we wanted.
Prince Fielder showed up every single day in 2009 and absolutely tormented pitchers.

The Milwaukee Brewers win 4-0 today behind a spectacular performance by Dave Bush on the mound.
Bush threw a complete game shutout allowing just 5 hits and striking out 10 on 116 pitches.
@that414Ginoguy It is definitely a leap, but from the way I read the post is the concern that this cause could set legal precedent. From my understanding loosely following the case it seemed like she got a fair amount of help, but sadly wasn’t enough.
The Brewers are an MLB-best 81-49 despite hitting the fewest home runs in baseball (120). 😲
So how are they doing it?
They lead MLB in OBP (.337) and chase rate (27%), rank second in walk rate (11%) and third in stolen bases (129) and sac bunts (30).
They get on base.

The dodgers ownership group committing legitimate white collar crimes to win multiple World Series is worst than the Astros stealing a few signs to win a couple home games
Since this, Joshua Báez has homered two more times. Three major league plate appearances, three home runs -- the first player in big league history to go deep three times in his first game. One to left, one to center, one to right. Best debut for a hitter in big league history.
