Last year, over the course of two weeks, the Tigers swept, and were swept. Think about that for a second. That's pretty hard to pull off.
You know what else is hard to pull off? Eclipsing your father has most iconic Tigers star named Fielder. True, Cecil made a name for himself in the 90's, but at the rate his son is heading, he might become a much more important Tigers player than his dad.
Last year, Prince Fielder had a tremendous season, his first in Detroit. He got to the World Series, hit numerous homers, and gained the respect of his city who thought he was signed to prevent other people from signing him. In that order.
This year, Prince has a lot more to prove. He needs to prove that he can hit even more home runs, make another All Star Game, and make his old team in Milwaukee feel even worse about themselves. I believe he'll end up accomplishing all three tasks. I don't know about him appearing in another World Series, but you never know.
Coming Tomorrow- The Shortstop. Number Two.
