It's the spring, when a young ballplayer's fancy lightly turns to how his six-figure salary is an insult.
  • Typical Lefty Salonista Response from King

    You Lefties here all SAY you support the working class, but when one voices a legitimate complaint, he gets slapped down by the man.

    King, I don't think you underdstand how important respect is in the hood in which Fielder grew up in. Where he's from, if you don't roll with force, you're lost.

    For example, take this one time back in '96 when he was living on Park Ave while his dad played for the Yankees... well to make a long story short, his limo driver got held up in traffice on the Major Deegan and didn't have time to clean the car before picking him up. It was covered in road salt and all the other kids (and their nannies!) made fun of him.

    He vowed he would never be disrespected again and that is what has made him the man he is today.
