message: Since this page is locked, I cannot update, but Prince Fielder is no longer vegetarian:
"Fielder was spotted eating a rack of ribs in St. Louis last week. It's been somewhat known but largely unreported for a while now that he's no longer a vegetarian."

"SN: Are you still a vegetarian?
FIELDER: Nope. No more ofthat anymore. It was OK, but as far as the schedule and all that and trying to eat like that, that's a lot of work and something you have to map out. I still eat good, though.

message: One of the categories listed for him was "Moneyball."  Now I haven't read Moneyball for a while, but I can't remember him being in it.  Could someone please provide a reference (page or chapter)?  66.188.68.46 21:49, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the following should be removed, as it is pretty trivial:
"Fielder was once the spokesperson along with his father for the McDonalds triple cheeseburger, and appeared with his father on MTV's Rock 'n Jock." Miles Blues 02:36, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relevant or not? 

message: This cannot be true, is there a source? If it is true can a date be added at least? Either way it is certainly not what he is "best known for"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.76.146.51 (talk) 17:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: This article really needs to be rewritten

message: Being a Brewers fan, I was reading about Prince and happened upon the line "Fielder is married to his wife , Chanel, the couple has two children: Jaden and Haven." I thought it a little redundant to say he's married to his wife. I reworded it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.174.181.35 (talk) 05:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Yep -- that's what the cite tag is for.  If you google fielder and feud, you will see the only problem people will face is in picking which of many article to cite to.--Ethelh (talk) 01:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I do understand the purpose of a cite tag. The results of the Google search are not impressive: . One doesn't see major media coverage, but lots of blogs that would not be acceptable sources. Most of the references also appear to be two years old; perhaps you have read something recently which attests to the rift. JNW (talk) 01:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states:
"In 2002, Fielder hit a home run that measured 550 feet off Rockledge High School pitcher Aaron Cook."
It then cites this TSN article as a source... which says this:
The legend of Prince Fielder grows and grows. Even when nothing happens, it grows. In late March, a Wikipedia bio of Fielder told of a 543-foot homer he had hit in high school off of a pitcher named Aaron Cook. Two weeks later, the same Wikipedia page said the homer had traveled 587 feet (and still credited Cook as the pitcher). 
Of course Fielder did not hit a 587-foot home run in high school. Of course he did not hit a 543-foot home run in high school. But he did hit a home run of unknown but substantial distance off Cook. And Cook was no schlub. He was a high school star who later played four years in college and got drafted by the Angels, for whom he now pitches in Class A. 
Cook says Fielder BELTED a slider 420 or 430 feet. The ball screamed over the fence and landed -- assuming it has indeed ever come down -- in the woods. Cook's teammates razzed him that Fielder hit the ball so hard it became embedded in a tree -- or knocked one over. 
"I go back to my high school six years later, people are still talking about it," Cook says. "Freshmen or sophomores are like, 'Aren't you the guy who gave up the homer to Prince Fielder?'"
Not only is 550 nowhere in the source, the whole point of the supposed source seems to be to say that Wikipedia editors on Fielder's page like to say he hit hysterically long homers in high school.  I'm going to take that line out, if someone doesn't like it, they can come up with a source, READ it, and add it back. Limpidgreen345 (talk) 22:26, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Footnote 33 

message: A previous edit suggested Fielder's wife slept with a former teammate.  There is no evidence to suggest this, beyond a rumor from a third-tier baseball site, and this should not be allowed to return to this page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.231.79 (talk) 14:07, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
