ARLINGTON, Texas -- Prince Fielder arrived in Texas with a massive contract, a home run title and a reputation for playing every day.He didnt come with much of an ego, though it wouldve been completely understandable considering he was the son of big leaguer Cecil Fielder and played in six?All-Star Games, winning the Home Run Derby at one of them.And just like that, Fielders career is apparently over. After having neck fusion surgery for the second time in three seasons hes reportedly expected to announce Wednesday that he is physically unable to play, thus ending his career. The medical designation means he will collect on the remaining $96 million, hes owed on the nine-year, $214 million contract he signed with the Detroit Tigers in 2012.In three seasons with the Texas Rangers, Fielder hit 34 homers with 158 RBIs in just 289 games. He hit .269 with an OPS of .760, well below his career averages.Winning mattered more to Fielder than his stats. He cared more about being a good teammate than his Wins Above Replacement. When manager Jeff Banister asked him to be a designated hitter, allowing Mitch Moreland to play first base, Fielder quickly acquiesced. When asked about the move, Fielder said, Mitch is a better first baseman than me. The team is better if hes at first.After playing just 42 games his first season in Texas because he needed neck fusion surgery, Fielder returned to hit .305 with 23 homers and 98 RBIs in 2015.This season, though, the moon shots were replaced by singles slapped to left and blooped to center. Instead of yanking the ball into defensive shifts, he hit the ball to the opposite field.When asked how his ego handled the dip in power, Fielder replied, Id rather hit .300 and win than hit 30 homers and lose.Hes one of the players who looked out for rookie outfielder Nomar Mazara when he joined the club in April. Fielder and Adrian Beltre controlled the clubhouse so Jeff Banister didnt have to do it.Prince never enjoyed talking much about himself, though he would always make time for an NBA conversation or a chat about his two sons.When Fielder missed much of the 2014 season, it changed his perspective on life, and he didnt mind telling folks. The time away from the game forced him to mature and change the way he viewed baseball. It made him realize the fragility of his career and the importance of fatherhood. No longer did he wrap his identity in how far he could hit a baseball. His family, his kids were more important.Fielders two sons spent much of the summer at the ballpark shagging flies, riding their hover board and playing with the sons of Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo.Fielder recently chastised one of his sons because he could smell the youngster had forgotten to use his deodorant.As his son left to follow his fathers directive, Fielder chuckled. Now, hell have more time for father-son moments like those. Dmitry Orlov Jersey . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.

Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Madison Bowey Jersey . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall posted on social media a racist, threatening letter that denounced him for taking a knee during the national anthem earlier this season. He said he wanted to expose the racism that exists in society.Marshall said he received the letter a couple of weeks ago and turned it over to the teams security department, which has been in contact with the NFL and local law enforcement.Marshall posted the letter written on front and back in block lettering, on his social media accounts alongside his caption, which read: The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where were at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take. He also noted, I received this letter at work.I just wanted to expose that racism still exists, Marshall told reporters in the locker room Friday about an hour after posting the letter. I wanted expose that people still hate each other. We still hate each other, whether its because of your belief system or the color of your skin, whatever the case may be.Marshall said he quickly received hundreds of messages of support, although one detractor suggested he shouldnt have posted it because it gave voice to the author.No, I did the right thing because it needs to be seen, Marshall countered.Marshall showed photos of the envelope and letter he snapped on his iPhone before turning them over to team security.The letter came in an envelope purporting to be from Mrs. Jacksons sixth-grade class in Denver and scribbled on the back were the words We love you, Mr. Marshall.That was designed to make sure he read the letter, said Marshall, adding he suspects it was actually written by an adult.The return address listed aa middle school and address, which dont match any middle schools in Colorado.ddddddddddddMarshall has received both positive and negative feedback for following college teammate Colin Kaepernick `s lead in protesting social and racial injustice by taking a knee during the national anthem over the first half of the season.He ended his protest by saying he would go on a police drive-along and participate in a police shoot-or-dont-shoot simulator while also increasing his charitable endeavors. Coach Gary Kubiak stood next to him when he ended his protest at Oakland in Week 9, saying he was proud of the way Marshall had handled the situation.Marshall, who lost endorsements over his actions , has received a lot of hate mail for kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner. But he said he publicized this particular letter because it threatened him with bodily harm and was especially vitriolic.He said he didnt fear for his safety, though.Marshall, who wont play this weekend when the Broncos (8-4) visit Tennessee (6-6) because of a pulled left hamstring, said he discovered the letter while catching up on a stack of fan mail in his locker. When he came across this one, he passed it around to teammates before turning it over to team security.It was disgusting, linebacker Shane Ray said.We were appalled by it, added linebacker Corey Nelson, who will start in Marshalls place Sunday. We told him dont worry about it, dont let that get into your head or get into your heart.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Gear Wholesale Jerseys China Wholesale NFL Gear Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '
