Prince Fielder may be heading to where the money will take him, has ingrained himself into the Brewers' history books. Not even the famed Robin Yount nor Paul Molitor were able to achieve a Ted Williams All-Star Most Valuable Player Award. The six year veteran of the team was also the first ever Brewer to hit an All-Star Game homer; and what a homer it was.
The swing that earned him the crystal bat came in a tense fourth. For the first three innings the game had been all defense. Only one American League run made the difference in a 1-0 game. Boos were accompanying Fielder on his way to the plate with two runners on. What followed was a remarkable turn-around of the game and of the crowds jeers. The Brewers star slammed a three-run homer over the left field fence. Rangers lefty C.J. Wilson was stunned and the home crowed was in awe. It took a few moments before the eruption of applause began in Fielders honor. The NL side stacked on two more runs before the end of the game to win their second consecutive All-Star Game. They are hoping to mimic the AL's 13 year undefeated streak that was ended in the 2010 NL win.
