Prince Fielder Bids Tearful Farewell

The Texas Rangers designated hitter's career is over.

[@pauljohnson3340]

His heart was broken. I remember watching this and crying. We loved him in Milwaukee.

[@mazurbeem]

Absolutely. I'll never forget watching him play in that 2011 run.

[@chazm9480]

I’m a nats fan but I always looked to the legend prince fielder, good luck man, so sorry

[@bryanrose5492]

That’s the team and Detroit

[@bryanrose5492]

I thought he was in pain but he was actually crying

[@bryanrose5492]

I thought he was a outfielder

[@Philly-jz2fs]

Thank you for everything prince

[@Philly-jz2fs]

Always be one of my favorite players of all time

[@bellasmith8794]

+Philly0024 love u

[@maroinmybones]

Man, talk about a player being robbed of his career. Ends his career with the EXACT same amount of home runs as his dad 319. Feel bad for him, I'll always keep my autographed photo of him with the Tigers though.

[@mitchellhodge6194]

maroinmybones at least he will always have something similar about him in mind

[@maxheadroom1207]

XxFiveHead xX he actually hates his father so he probably would’ve wanted to beat him.

[@bogeybear6237]

Not robbed, he traded his career for eating the way he did his whole life.

[@mikesuzio2566]

@@bogeybear6237 prince went vegan for 2 seasons he was a generational talent and hit 50+ homeruns at least 1 season with the brewers

[@yourenotmydad3881]

SMH 🤦‍♂️

[@ActuallyDKM]

My heart breaks for Prince Fielder every time I see this.

[@tresfielder3148]

TRiL Me too, very sad. Wish him and his family the best.

[@BKSpAzOne]

OfficialTRiL amen. It brings anger as well. To see his dream being awoke to such a harsh reality

[@papas_ash]

as a cubs fan, I hated this guy always destroying us when we were against the brew crew, but this man had talent, he could’ve easily been a HoF. Man is a legend

[@TheCodedtestament]

This sucks,I feel bad for him.To be told u can't play baseball anymore do to injury sucks.He was an awesome player. Ill never forget when he took that fans nachos back in Detroit.

[@joshbussineau1491]

Same

[@vincenthammork]

Damn dawg! I'm surely gonna miss that powerful swing. Wished he would of won a ring like his father before him. So sad. And so young too.

[@LIT_STREAMS]

I'm Giants fan and I wouldn't mind Rangers winning one for prince.

[@tresfielder3148]

Vincent Hammork Cherish life for nothing is promised, except death.

[@SpecsJigglypuff]

@@LIT_STREAMSgot one this year 🤞

[@DrFatDabs]

The most heart wrenching retirement of all time. Literally breaks my fkn heart man, as an astros fan, respect to Prince, many of great battles between Htown and the Brew Crew. Transcending color, as a young heavyset man, 1st baseman. I wanted TO BE Prince Fielder. I loved his game, his smile and his talent. We love you Prince

[@UrbanSipfly]

What Prince is feeling must be a 2 fold world of emotions..1 he has been told that his professional baseball career is over. 2 if the doctors not diagnosed and treated his neck injury when they did, Prince's long term medical condition outcome might be much sadder. Thanks Prince for you outstanding professional play my brother...I'm sure every baseball front office GM enjoyed having you as part of their organization.

[@residentzombie]

Prince Fielder will have neck pains until the day he dies and it will get worse as he ages. You don't know much about medical related injuries.

[@UrbanSipfly]

I never said I did know anything about neck injuries...!!

[@loganharter8221]

The big man never cries. It's sad to see a mans dream cut short because his body just can't handle it. As a brewer fan I'll forever remember prince fielder as the best left handed hitter to ever play in Milwaukee.

[@TimC19]

4:05pm and 101°. That's Texas as hell.

[@iansmith1230]

I’m a tigers fan and I respect the man so much and all he did for the in 2012 and 2013, those were years the tigers very successful, 2012 World Series and 2013 ALCS. Thank you Prince

[@mlbsimseries1533]

I hope people disliked this because they had so much water in there eyes they couldn’t tell the dirfference

[@janetkeenan3802]

I started crying watching Prince crying

[@nicktorres4099]

Man he deserves a ring he put all his effort and even with his neck hurting and it to be taken away from him like that is just not right

[@Jocc2Cs]

I'm an A's fan, but always enjoyed watching Prince play. Get well man.

[@shockinghonesty3971]

Damn, I'm such a crybaby. Maybe because Prince was a player who loved playing more than life itself. Sorry bro, may God bless you!!!!

[@alexmoore6406]

To have your career ripped from you in your prime is so sad. This man was a first five year HOF guy. I’m a KC guy and when I first read this story I cried. He was a stand up guy with one of the best smiles in the majors. Miss you man

[@loganharter8221]

This guy deserved a ring. I've watched him ever since he got called up in Milwaukee. Not once was he ever this emotional. Baseball was his dream, his life, and his legacy. All of it cut short due to injuries. Prince.....you won't ever be forgotten big man!- brewers fan.

[@janellemaynait]

man this sucks for 11 years he was one of my favorites players good luck in your post career Prince Fielder you're the best

[@tresfielder3148]

Janel Lemay-Naït 👍👍👍👍

[@Cat_lover335]

Dude baseball has been his whole life literally his old man played pro ball tough shit prince I hope you stay in the game somehow thanks for all your service!

[@lukekiefer5964]

Prince Fielder gave me some of my favorite memories as a young Brewers fan. Watching Braun and him go back to back. I remember listening to Fielder’s first grand slam on the radio before I went to bed. I think to us Brewers fans he’ll always be a legend.

[@AtCw593]

So upsetting. Guy still had some left in the tank if only his body hadn't given up on him. And so abrupt. I'm a Mets fan, so it's hard to just root for some other team, but if I were an objective baseball fan, I'd pull for the Rangers so he could get that ring. You can say similar things about Papi on his retirement tour, but he has 3 rings already and a World Series MVP.

[@kk1meier]

Yeah

[@coreygolphenee9633]

He's never someone I could picture shedding a tear growing up, my hands down favorite baseball player, and at the very least deserved 320, so the world could know that my word as good as his dad was he was even better

[@jjfisher]

Thank you for everything you did for the Rangers! Get well soon!

[@jordanholt4286]

Sad to see someone leave the game they love so much 😢

[@trouthuang1959]

Thank you Prince. Respect for your passion, love and hard work to baseball. Hope to recover soon. Sad not to see you again. Finger crossed.

[@adamskaocelot8382]

Man this gets to me.... Prince was my hero back in the day growing up watching him playing with the Brewers I'm so thankful for the time that he gave us and everything he did

[@salt1ne1]

Man, I'm gonna miss him. Great part of the sport. Much love from Toronto

[@BT-fl5qe]

Im a diehard Red Sox fan….but Prince Fielder had some of the most prodigious home run power I have ever seen. 2007 was such an exciting year to follow him. He made the Brew Crew a very lovable team to root for, the Brewers were such an exciting team back then. When he went to Detroit w/ Miggy I couldn’t help but play MLB The Show as the Tigers with that 1-2 Punch and Verlander or Scherzer throwing gas. I was one of the many people to be in tears that day, watching a man whom had provided us so much joy and entertainment crying because he can longer play the game we all love.

[@GrantMerle]

Prince I watched you absolutely destroy in the home run derby in St. Louis. Everyone was talking about Nelson "boom stick" Cruz in the stands but I kept saying wait till Prince! Wait till Prince! You unleashed bombs, sheer moon shots. Always hold your head up high, your a great major leaguer!

[@aaronrodriguez1410]

Grant Merle strong dude as well fielder was a beast

[@falsepredictionsonnen7143]

an absolute class act, I remeber I was at a game at Fenway he hit a ball foul and when the inning was over he went over to the fans to make sure they we're okay.The game of baseball was so fortunate to have a player like Prince Fielder thank you.

[@WorldwideJamal]

Thanks from Milwaukee prince

[@go1tigers]

Notice he forgot about the teams he played for? give me a break you don't forget that

[@gamingeagle19]

He thanked both the Tigers and Brewers in the full conference.

[@gamingeagle19]

He even said it in the video. Clearly you didn't listen.

[@WorldwideJamal]

+P. Kelly T I was thanking him personally. I enjoyed watching him.

[@matthewhendrix1179]

I can't believe that its been three years since this heart breaking tragedy. I couldn't believe the news when i heard it. When I saw the interview I couldn't help but cry. It is not fair for anyone to be robbed of the thing they do for a living and brings them joy. Prince Fielder will always be MY FAVORITE TEXAS RANGER!

[@OsoActual]

This sucks! I was a fan of his dad, and him for years. I hate this happened to a good guy and great ball player.😕

[@troymoore9730]

I never saw this! Always enjoyed Prince and enjoyed watching his father Cecil, Bless you Prince a true love and passion for the game he loved.

[@AntonioPerez-fx9kx]

Aye prince buddy,you aint the only one crying rn. i just wana think you for all the good things you did for this team. I will always be your number one fan.

[@thomasdaniels6824]

Prince Fielder was one of the most likeable players ever.

[@jaykayelem7386]

Fielder, beltre, choo, andrus, odor... best rangers team

[@alanluscombe8a553]

So sad, you can see how much baseball means to him and he seems like a genuine nice man. Thanks for the memories prince you are a class act.

[@LupeCoded]

For the little time he spent here in Texas, it didn't take long for us to become attached to him. Us Rangers fans were broken up about this bad. When his son started crying, that was a major tearjerker for me. Will always remember Prince Fielder here.

[@detroitjc]

today there is crying in baseball...I was sad to see you leave Detroit. total player with class and humor. loved watching him and Cabrera having so much fun!

[@kenosabi]

Legitimately tear inducing. That's a man that just had his world taken from him.

[@EDF1919]

He had such a love for the game and had so much left to give.

[@ryanmays9965]

miss you Prince thank you sorry that had to happen :( always be remembered as a very funny and amazing player hall of fame for sure

[@cam9420]

this always makes me tear up

[@nolansthompson8984]

I remember I had him in fantasy baseball this year too he was so good I couldn’t believe it

[@dragontm1090]

I remember watching this live, and it's no less moving now. I miss ya Prince, best MKE 1st Baseman of All Time!!

[@melissabaker993]

He is one of the best players of all time I was the first one to like your comment😀⚾️👍🏻

[@Ba11leFieldAce]

Almost a year later and we still miss ya prince.

I may be a Brewers fan but he was and still remains my all time favorite Brewer. Oh how I wish we could've kept him.

[@calebcollier3045]

Man I miss watching this guy play. Still heartbreaking to watch

[@dakotalayinlow]

he'll be one of my favorite Tigers, right behind his father Cecil. Sad to see him go, for now!

Him and braun for the brewers. Was the lineup of my childhood. Absolute power duo

[@brianmcintyre1255]

We will all love you prince

[@kamdaddypurp3341]

I remember watching him when I was like 6,7,8,9 when he played in Milwaukee fuck time flys

[@lonnieseeling394]

Brew crew fan in the national league I'm a Boston fan in American but prince was amazing in Milwaukee great attitude and Soo much power he had it's hard but be with your boys and wife and enjoy life

[@creekersquad2374]

I somewhat know how it feels. I played baseball for 16 years from t ball to,coach pitch to fastpitch. The,last game,I,pitched i ended tearing some,thing in my arm and I was NO longer to throw a base ball or a football. So my career ended to soon. And,I haven't,thrown a ball in over 9 years

[@RyanSchilling-fg9qn]

My fav moment in baseball history was when he ran to catch a fly ball in fouls territory missed it and then ate a chip from a fan. He always looked like he was having a blast out there

[@bluetreballllll3721]

My favorite baseball player of all time hands down one of the first players probably the first player I new goodbye prince

[@abelreyes9955]

Fue uno de mis jugadores favorito

[@bluetreballllll3721]

[@MorseTre]

This makes me cry

[@ralphabreu5022]

Prince is a class act comes from the best and supportive father Cecil

[@jspres86]

Sad, he was always loved by his teammates. Nobody gonna shed a tear when A-Rod plays his last game tomorrow.

[@Eddyman81]

Yeah I hope Prince has a speedy recovery. About A-Rod though. I might shed a tear of joy.

[@aidandoyle9445]

+Eddy man 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍

[@iandotson7954]

[@laneschindler23]

As my favorite player when he was on the tigers when I was like the age of 3 and now am 12 and is just finding out about this

[@NickItaly1]

Coming from an O's fan, thank you prince

[@ExposClassics94]

No matter what ever happens, Bill Lee always said you'll never be out of baseball. I think Fielder will attempt a comeback in the future with a new swing that does not put strain on his neck

[@tresfielder3148]

Expos Classics It'd be nice but not worth risking his health.

[@Six-lv3mg]

We love you Prince

[@bridget5409]

As a brewers fan this is absolutely heartbreaking

[@rmathew2]

Damn his contract run through 2020, looking at ARod and Prince they really need a maximum 5 years like the NBA
