Prince Fielder has been suspended for three-games for bumping home plate umpire Wally Bell during Sunday’s 6-4 loss to the Astros.
The incident occurred after Fielder was caught gawking at strike three.
Had it been a triple cheeseburger …
Fielder, who was blinded with rage, didn’t even realize he had bumped chests with Bell during the altercation and is appealing the suspension.
“We’re both over 250 pounds, so if our stomachs touch, that’s going to happen,” Fielder said.
We’ve heard it before, Prince, but next time you will have to buy two seats on the plane.
Not surprisingly, he’s appealing — turning a cold shoulder toward the fat of the matter.
