Him [my dad] bringing me to the clubhouse when I was young helped me out because I see what they do in baseball and what it's about. He pretty much told me all this stuff when I was younger. Now it's just a matter of doing it.

More quotes by Prince Fielder
Miguel and Justin, the two biggest guys on the team, welcomed me right away and once the cool kids in school like you, it's easy to get along.
Prince Fielder
I was a guy who came to work every day. I was there. When my manager got to the field at 12, I felt like there was no reason for him to ever wonder if I was playing. For me, that's a big deal. I teach that to my kids.

I've always said, You make a lot of money in Major League Baseball, and it's all guaranteed, so what do you have to lose by going all out? .
Prince Fielder
I have nothing left to prove. I've already done enough to my neck.

I'm just living a normal life - a regular life, as people would call it. I'm enjoying it.

We took a family trip to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia over Christmas and New Year's. Three weeks was a long time, but it was cool, man. We were on the ocean, so that was kind of intense. After a couple of days you realize how far out you are.
Prince Fielder
It's easier for me to accept that I can't play anymore because I literally gave it all I got. That allows me to be a little bit more at peace.

When I was playing, my wife and kids would go on the road with me, and we would go to different lunch spots that we saw on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

My main goal now is waking up healthy every day and going on with life.

Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack.
Prince Fielder
Honestly, right now, I don't want to be around baseball. Not that I don't like it. But I'm having fun right here, hanging around my family and watching my kids' games.
Prince Fielder
Coming up through high school, coaches would tell me not to swing so hard. It's the only way I know. It just happens.
Prince Fielder
I have a food show.It's not just baseball people. It's a mixture of baseball people, actors, musicians, chefs and whatnot. They bring out different dishes, and at the end of the show, I give the one I like the most the Fielder's choice. It's good TV.
Prince Fielder
I get to kind of pretend I'm going to play baseball. I get to work out and do all the stuff that was part of baseball. I just don't get to play.
Prince Fielder
I saw [ that I and my father, Cecil end our careers with 319 home runs] after I retired. It was just weird. With all the games we played, neither one of us could hit one more home run? Obviously, it was supposed to go that way. It's a pretty cool thing, I guess.
Prince Fielder
If I could even do that [playing] in a softball league, I would never miss anything about baseball.
Prince Fielder
Once I started getting multiple days off in a row, it was a long year for me. That had never happened, and everybody knew I didn't like it.
Prince Fielder
I thought it might be a cool thing [food show] to do when I retired a few years later. Then retirement came slightly prematurely.
Prince Fielder
I play to lift a city, and raise a banner.

You don't need to have a perfect ending to be happy.
