Prince Fielder Speaks

Via Extra Baggs

Brewers scribes just talked to Prince Fielder after he exited today’s game. Fielder has been unapologetic for his home run stunt the entire time, and he isn’t backing down now.

“They gotta do what they gotta do,” Fielder said. “But it’s not going to take it away. It’s chronicled. … I hit the home run and they gotta hit me. That’s what they gotta do.”

Anthony Witrado of the Journal-Sentinel asked Fielder if the celebration was worth the ball in the back.

“Hell yeah,” Fielder said. “That’s something I did with me and my teammates. It has nothing to do with them.”

“You’re damn right it was worth it.”
