Brewers: Dear Dad, Take These Home Runs and Shove It

On a Tuesday night when Prince Fielder supplanted in the record books one of the greatest to ever play the game, the Milwaukee Brewers' first baseman made it clear there is only one player he wants to surpass: his father, Cecil.

The two had a falling out about three years ago, not long after Fielder was the No. 1 pick of the Brewers in the 2002 draft.

When Prince was 18 and playing for the Brewers farm team in Beloit in 2002, he was served papers by a process server naming his father in a debt case as he walked off the field after a game.

The younger Fielder also recounted how he felt slighted when he was drafted because he read and heard the only reason he was a top pick was because of his last name — one well established in the game because of his father's 14-year career during which he hit 319 home runs.
