MIL Journal-Sentinel blog: What Prince had to say

I thought you folks would like to hear some of the comments from Prince Fielder after he hit his first home run of the 2008 season today—a two-run shot in the 10th inning that gave the Brewers a much-needed 5-3 victory over St. Louis.

Fielder, who teammates said was starting to feel the pressure of not hitting a homer, thought for a moment about acting cool upon returning to the dugout. But he just couldn’t.

Instead, Fielder started hopping up and down, arms raised, as teammates mobbed him and started pounding on his helmet and slapping hands. Suddenly, kindergarten broke out.

“I was trying to act tough but I couldn’t hold it,” said Fielder…“It was like Little League. Just jumping up and down like a kid.”

While he tried to tune it out, he was well aware that many were pinning his power drought to his announced decision in spring training to become a vegetarian.

Making light of that situation, teammate and friend Joe Dillon preceded Fielder into the post-game clubhouse and loudly announced, “Prince had steak and eggs for breakfast!” Dillon, of course, was kidding.
