We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

little prince

You may remember from earlier posts (June 2005, June 2006) that I've developed very maternal feelings for two of the Brewers' infielders, Ricky Weeks (who has, sadly, been having so much trouble at the plate that he was sent back to AAA) and Prince Fielder. Prince is the son of Cecil Fielder, and so he grew up in baseball. He also apparently grew up on TV. Josh (or more likely, one of his online baseball buddies) discovered an old McDonald's commercial on YouTube. The video is grainy, and in the section where Prince looks most like his current self, half his face is obliterated, but it was still fun to watch (numerous times).
