Brewers' fans pumped to watch Prince Fielder hit home runs again image

There are few things more aesthetically pleasing than a Prince Fielder home run.

It's been a while since most Milwaukee Brewers fans got to see such a sight.

But on Friday night, the Brewers held an alumni Home Run Derby after their game, and Fielder took part.

Yes, it was as awesome as you'd think.

Fielder, who was listed at 5-11 and 275 pounds in his playing career, slugged 319 homers and batted .283 in a prodigious MLB career.

He's 41 now, and hasn't played in MLB since 2016 after injuries played a part in ending his career.

His swing still belongs in a big league stadium, though.

The alumni derby is a great idea that more teams should try. Fielder certainly proved how fun it can be.
