Some years ago, when Joe Medwick was in his prime with the St. Louis Cardinals, he toured Europe with a group of entertainers. Upon reaching Rome, the troupe was granted an audience with Pope Pius. His Holiness politely asked each the nature of his business.
"I'm a comedian," answered one.
"I'm a singer," replied another.
Then came Medwick's turn. With simple dignity he said, "Your Holiness, I'm a Cardinal."
Anthony Witrado of the Journal-Sentinel asked Fielder if the celebration was worth the ball in the back.
"Hell yeah," Fielder said. "That's something I did with me and my teammates. It has nothing to do with them."
"You're damn right it was worth it."
