Why Baseball Should Celebrate Prince Fielder's Celebration

By Chet Breele

The Milwaukee Brewers basically possess nothing left to play for during the 2009 season, and have currently been reduced to acting as the 'spoiler' team.

Therefore, why not have a little entertainment if the team come up with a chance to win a game as September rolls through?

The Cards (fundamentally manager Tony LaRussa) have really never been a fanatic of Milwaukee's 'post-game celebrations after a win (untucking their uniforms, in addition to the way the franchise celebrates).

In whichever case, I can very much dream up what crossed through LaRussa's mind when he watched highlights from the Brewers' game on Sunday, September 6, vs. the Giants.

However, additionally, what were other major league baseball teams thinking as well?

In a contest where the Brewers had earlier executed a rare triple play going 5-4-3, the team forced extra innings vs. San Fran.

Then the team's top competitor, and the the team's king in Prince Fielder stepped up during the second half of the twelfth inning to wind up the hero yet again.

Fielder blasted a hooking shot over the right field fence to credit him another career game-winning home run and the brewers a 2-1 win.

While Fielder passed first base, he untucked his shirt (I submitted an expose during the previous season explaining why they do it), and then he pointed to the clubhouse. After watching the finish result, you'll realize why he did this.

An organized dance was about to occur.

Customarily a celebration of this type consists of the competitor running around the bases, landing on home plate and afterward being mobbed by his teammates. The Brewers added in a tiny twist on Sunday.

Fielder rounded the bases. Fielder jumped on house plate. Just when Fielder landed although, the rest of the team (minus coaches and managers) fell over like dominoes, leaving "The Prince" standing on home plate with his arms raised to the sky.

These men are paid to play a game, so go out and have some affable, like Prince Fielder and the rest of the The brewers Brewers are doing. - 29967
