Vegetarian Star

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!

After Milwaukee Brewer’s first baseman Prince Fielder won the Home Derby Competition, a mobile pizza truck that sells pizza by the slice in Milwaukee, Street-za, made a special pizza to honor the hometown hero.

There’s just one problem.

Prince Fielder is a vegetarian and that pizza ain’t nowhere near veggie.

Here are the toppings for the Streetza Brew Crew Sausage Race:

Italian sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, Polish sausage and hot dogs.

Vendor dudes could have at least did a little bit of research before whipping that up. A pizza slice abundant with veggies or even multiple varieties of cheese would have been better.

The perfect slice, of course, would be one topped with faux sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and hot dogs, as it would be the perfect opportunity to show fans what Prince is getting and what they’re missing on a regular basis.

Sigh. Opportunity missed.

Gotta give the Street-za guys credit for putting a vegan pizza on the menu, though, with the description, “Hopefully we aren’t banished from Wisconsin for this pizza. A Cheese-less pizza with our tomato sauce, fresh spinach, eggplant, onions, & cajun spiced potatoes. How can a pizza be good with no cheese? It is. Trust us.”

Prince Fielder took some criticism when he went vegetarian last year.

Fans who wanted better performance on the baseball field were quick to blame any mistake on the lack of meat in his diet and critics were quick to point out that, like Ruben Studdard, Fielder’s tofu and veggies weren’t making him much thinner.

Those critics can take their words and shove it, as the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman has shown real athletes don’t need meat and has been crowned Home Derby Champion in the all-star competition.

Fielder won the title by defeating Nelson Cruz of Texas in the final round 6-5 and hit 23 homers in the three rounds of competition. One of Fielder’s homers was a 503-footer, the longest one of the night.

Wonder if he celebrated with his favorite pesto pasta toss that evening?
