In the eighth inning of Game 6 of the NLCS, Milwaukee fans had a sense that Prince Fielder’s at-bat might be his last as a Brewer. They have him a huge standing ovation when he stepped in the box. Albert Pujols, classy fella that he is, called time to let Fielder soak up more applause. Nice gesture.

↵But the thought was nice.
