Fielders' choice: No talking - ever

Kevin Brewer
October 1, 2007

Prince Fielder says he wants to shut his father up.

Cecil Fielder says his son needs to grow up.

After Prince became the youngest player in history to hit 50 home runs Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman said his goal is 52 — one more than his father hit in 1990.

"My dad had 51," Prince said. "Then he can't say anything."

The two haven't spoken to each other in three years.

In June, Cecil said: "I don't think he's grown up yet. Until he can move on and talk to me like he's my son, we don't need to talk."

Prince said: "You've got to look at who's saying it. Let's be honest. He's not really the brightest guy."

In 2004, Prince said: "My father is dead to me."
