The past few days are a reminder, not to go all serious on you, of our own eventual mortality. Prince Fielder will hold a news conference today to announce he's played his last game in the majors, his second neck surgery in three years ending his career at age 32. This is indestructible Prince, the man who once missed just 13 games over eight seasons and just one over a five-year stretch. How can his career be over already? It doesn't seem right.
Fielder will finish with 319 home runs, the same number as his father.
