Prince Fielder Eschewing Hot Beef Injections

One of the great things to come out of yesterday’s comments on our feature was reader cadum4 dropping the knowledge that Prince Fielder had become a vegetarian. We couldn’t believe it, but it’s true. What’s next–a Yankee/Red Sox fan truce? The Mets being less than 90% Latino? We’re through the looking glass, people.

It wasn’t always this way. Fielder used to enjoy a stacked burger or a juicy steak as much as any carnivore, but a few weeks ago he received a book from his wife, Chanel, that changed his outlook on what he puts in his massive frame. The book described how certain animals are treated and slaughtered for food.

And while doing both, he wants to keep the greens on his plate and the beef out of his belly. But there is a catch, warned Fielder.

“My wife said that if I lose some power, she’s cooking me a big steak.”

Ah excellent, the deathbed repentance. Works for Death Row inmates, bad Catholics and Home Run hitting vegetarians who don’t want to lose their meal ticket.
