Prince Fielder to Join Wiffleball League?

April 29, 2008

Two weeks ago, we offered Boston Red Sox slugger David Oritz the option to join Major League Wiffleball. Yesterday, on ESPN Radio’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd, host Colin Cowherd suggested that Prince Fielder should quit baseball and join a wiffleball league. Well, we at Major League Wiffleball would be glad to offer Fielder a tryout as well.

Cowherd is very unhappy with Fielder’s hitting, or lack thereof this season. Cowherd drafted Fielder in the first round (10th pick overall) of his National League-only fantasy baseball league draft earlier this year. After the draft, Cowherd was told Prince Fielder had become a vegetarian in the offseason, and a quick look at his dismal spring training numbers made it pretty clear that Fielder was in need of a steak or two.

With April just about over, Fielder has a .244 batting average, down over 30 points from his career average, and only 4 home runs, which puts him on pace for under 30 homers this year. With the MLW single-season home run record only being 28, there’s still time for Prince Fielder to put up big wiffleball numbers this year.
