Has there ever been such a big deal made about a man named Prince? On Sunday, Prince Fielder hit a walk-off homer against the Giants and proceeded to jump on home plate. Common practice in the game of baseball. What is not common is having your teammates all fall backwards as you do this. I personally have no problem with it but some people apparently do. Baseball is slow, sometimes boring and can be meaningless this time of year. But that didn't stop Prince from having a little fun on the Sunday before Labor Day. While some players not involved, like Torii Hunter, decide to give their two cents it remains to be seen how the Giants feel. As this is my blog, I'll tell you how they should feel. They shouldn't get upset because the Brewers are out of it and you know Fielder mentioned the celebration before he hit the homer. To have the balls to say that and follow through with it shows how good he really is. As far as the league is concerned, if Bud Selig tries to pull any crap with suspensions or more likely fines, he's doing the game and himself an injustice. He's already done that once in Milwaukee.
