Cecil Fielder #618

 



This week, one of the biggest names in 1990s baseball! In December 1988, Cecil Fielder took a chance and went to Japan. He hit 38 homers for the Hanshin Tigers in 1989, came back to MLB where he was the first 50 home run hitter since 1977! Cecil mashed for 7 seasons with Detroit Tigers and then won a ring with the New York Yankees in 1996. Between 1990-96 he hit 258 home runs, the most in baseball.
