Vegetarian Star

Wrigley Field made PETA’s top vegetarian friendly ballparks for the first time ever.

The animal rights group’s annual list is out, and the Chicago Cubs were a tie with Prince Fielder‘s home turf and home of the Milwaukee Brewers, Miller Field.

Several vegetarian options at Wrigley’s include black bean burgers and vegetable wraps.

With Aramark, a major food supply company to many sports arenas, expanding their vegetarian menu at places like Boston’s Fenway Park, more first time nominees are sure to land on the list next year.

Some winners from last year are taking another victory, like AT&T Park.

San Francisco Giants fans may feel as if they’ve stepped into a fine dining restaurant instead of a ballpark, where vegetable pot stickers, portabello mushroom sandwiches, veggie sushi and edamame can be devoured.

Who was number one?

The Philadelphia Phillies were a repeat winner with Citizens Bank Park offering an eclectic selection of faux crab cakes, faux steak and faux chicken sandwiches as well as faux dogs, wraps and salads.

What does it take to genetically engineer the perfect baseball player?

Bleacher Report attempted to reconstruct the ideal player using several athletes selling points.

Take Ken Griffy’s Jr.’s swing.

Add Carl Crawford’s speed.

Don’t forget Prince Fielder‘s power, maintained by not a ounce of animal flesh.

“Prince Fielder is the biggest, most powerful vegetarian I have ever laid eyes on. For his career he averages a homer every 14.8 at bats. At the age of 23 he was the youngest player in baseball history to ever hit 50 home runs in a season. Bottom line: This dude is powerful.”

Fielder  has his wife to thank for turning him vegetarian, after she picked up a copy of best selling book Skinny Bitch for homework.

Prince Fielder‘s success at the ballpark is so sought after, the Brewers are willing to do anything they can to retain him, including giving him a salary increase at the expense of the residents in Wisconsin, according to OnMilwaukee.

A vegetarian tax is being proposed, with a 5% charge on such items.

But Republican representative Scott Newcomer is certain the pinch will hardly be felt by those that eat the food.

“These vegetarians are wired a little differently. Most of them live on the East Side and they wear funky T-shirts and beat up old sandals, but you know they have money.”

“You have to be affluent to be a vegetarian. They pay extra for organic produce and free-range bean curd. I don’t even think they’ll notice the extra charge.”

With Fielder’s success on the field, you’d think more people would be encouraging vegetarianism as they see not only is the diet tasty, but can physically support the endeavors of a major league baseball player.

But some people are apparently worried about their cows.

Jeffrey Mursau, a Republican from Crivitz, said, “This is a no-brainer for me, given that there are a lot of cattle and dairy farms in my district,” he said. “People up north don’t trust anyone who doesn’t eat meat. And frankly, I find soy stupid.”

“I think this tax is a great idea because real Brewers fans eat bratwurst. They don’t want expensive tofu dogs that taste like cardboard.”

One final April Fool’s story to add to the day’s mix.

Bleacherreport has picked their top players for the 2010 Fantasy Baseball predictions and Milwaukee Brewer’s player Prince Fielder is listed as #4 on their list.

“Fielder is the thickest vegetarian I have ever seen, but fantasy owners hope he keeps eating the same tomatoes and cucumbers this year that he did in 2009 when he scorched pitchers for 46 homers and 141 RBI.”

Fielder puts more than tomatoes and cucumbers in his meat free body, as he’s a big fan of pasta and Indian food.

There are numerous reasons why people are including more unprocessed foods in their diets, including the fact these foods are a cheaper, healthier and more gentle on the environment and animals.

But could Alicia Silverstone‘s cookbook The Kind Diet, Ellen Degeneres offering her recipe for vegan tacos and Alanis Morissette talking about kale have an effect on how the grocery budget is spent in the next few years?

Says a statement from prweb:

“Celebrities and sports figures are defining the trend. Well-known stars and musicians, including Ellen DeGeneres, Alicia Silverstone, Alanis Morissette, and Moby share their plant-based dietary choices. Athletes on a whole foods diet have a performance edge without steroids. A sampling of athletes sticking to a diet based on whole foods includes Brendan Brazier, ultra marathon champion, Ruth Heidrich, triathlete with over 900 wins, Pat Neshek, Minnesota Twins pitcher, and Salim Stoudamire, Atlanta Hawk’s shooting guard.”

Has a famous veggie influenced the way you cook at home?

Or is learning the Prince Fielder bats like a vegan news to you?

After hearing what Taylor Lautner ate to gain weight for his New Moon role, even vampire blood is starting to sound better.

“Yeah, so I carry around a Baggie and it has meat patties in it,” Lautner told Entertainment Weekly. “The worst is not the patties. It’s the sweet potatoes. They get raw and cold and gushy.”

Taylor’s meat and potatoes habit allowed him to put on 30 pounds, but how many points did he put on his cholesterol?

All the vegetarian and vegan male athletes like Tony Gonzalez, Prince Fielder, Georges Laraque and Brendan Brazier know seitan “wheat” meat or Gardein faux meat and potatoes would keep Taylor buffed and ripped, save a few animals and not significantly add to the carbon emissions dirtying up Mother Earth like meat production does.

You can view Taylor’s “animal” body of steel when New Moon hits theatres November 20.

Unfortunately, the experience won’t be nearly such a turn on for the veggie ladies.

The New York Post ran an article about Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Prince Fielder, the vegetarian who’s wife picked up a copy of Skinny Bitch and went on a mission to convert her husband into one.

It worked.

And Prince’s game has never been better.

From the article:

“Wouldn’t you like to know what his wife is putting in that magic spinach! And wouldn’t his competition like to know as well. Maybe instead of that pre-game burger the other sluggers might want to spend a little more time at the salad bar and see if they can get a green recharge to kick-sprout their batting average.”

Right, on!

Both Prince Fielder and Tony LaRussa have big balls.

Big baseBALLS, that is.

LaRussa is the manager of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team and co-founded the Animal Rescue Foundation with the wifey.

Prince Fielder became vegetarian after his wife gave him permission to be with a Skinny Bitch and he recently showed the world how meatless men do it by winning the All Star Home Derby competition and setting a record for the longest home run-over 500 feet!

So between the two vegetarian men, who would you rather…
