A new Prince in the kingdom of vegetarians

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder recently solidified his place in my man-crush pantheon by announcing that earlier this month, he became a vegetarian after reading a book about the horrors of factory farming (the article does not name the title of the book, however). One wonders how this development will affect his fantasy baseball value; if anything, I'd say this lifestyle change should add at least five steals to his season total. Hopefully his power numbers won't dip so carnivores won't be able to claim that vegetarianism makes you weak.

Famous vegetarian sports personalities: Who would have expected Robert Parrish to make that list?
