Maybe we should think about putting him in the rotation?

[HebrewHammer]

Too darn cute.

[bullox]

That's great. Good find.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i think mc donalds should recreate that commercial in the present day....if mc donalds can't bring a family together who can ?

[JoeHova]

just want to see if I can figure out how to embed something:

 

 

 

edit: wow, that's easy. Nice.

 

Anyway, great find, Prince used to be really cute (he may still be, but that's not for me to judge http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif ).

That was such a cute commercial. It just breaks my heart that Prince and his dad are no longer close like that anymore. And I also hope that people stay away from those triple cheeseburgers they were advertising. Those can't be good for your health.

- that commercial is from 1992...a nice eerie parallel.

- if they put prince on the mound now, would he pitch from the stretch?

- who did prince check down at 3rd?

- the way Cecil "swings late" on that pitch is hilarious because the swing is timed juuuust right. Makes you realize how slow the real game looks for good hitters.

- what did the Fielder family do with the money from that commerical?

[JoeHova]

what does Prince say after Cecil says, "to McDonald's"?

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

i will think of that commercial everytime i see prince hit a triple...

That's actually really funny and I'll do the same. I'm blaming Mc Donald's for turning his triples into doubles!

"what does Prince say after Cecil says, 'to McDonald's'?"

 

I think he says, "Sorry I struck you out," or something in that vein.

[BrewCrewForever]

That was very cool, to bad they are so far apart now. Man double cheeseburgers were more then a $1 then?

[jason21nl]

ahhh haa, thats a great commercial. very nice find. whats funny is that prince still has that little grin that he had way way back then. Just awesome.

[Sepolevne]

Awwwww.....

 

It is a shame what happened to their relationship. Maybe we can bring Cecil to Miller Park, Prince can strike him out, then they can go to McDonalds for a double cheeseburger and everything will be ok. But something tells me if Prince throws to Cecil now, it's going to be a little bit of chin music.

I'd imagine Cecil took it to las vegas or atlantic city and it was never heard from again...

$1.19 for a double cheesburger in 1992 and now they are $.99??? Must be all that cow cloning McD's is doing.

I found that to be the most ironic thing of all myself...

[IslandsAC]

wow good mojo, prince with a triple just now!

[JJHardy7]

I just think the burgers are smaller in the dollar menu double cheeseburger now...but i love the slide on the triple tonight by fielder...you can't say he doesn't try/care/lack effort
