Amazing article from the New York Times about my favorite baseball player, Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder, and his recent transition
into vegetarianism. 

His lips had barely hit the hominy when the waitress came back and apprehensively informed Fielder that his Caesar salad’s dressing had anchovies in it.  “That’s fine,” he said. “I’ll try the cucumber aioli.”  Brewers fans do not seem quite so comfortable with their brawny slugger becoming so refined. Earlier that day, the parking lots at Miller Park were characteristically sizzling with tailgate barbecues — most of them featuring the fatty bratwurst that are all but Wisconsin’s state vegetable. This is the stadium, after all, that during every sixth inning stages a spirited race among five humans dressed as different varieties of weiner product, from Italian sausages to chorizo; a tofu dog has yet to be invited.
