Batter up!

FOUL TIP!

Prince Fielder is the Baseball Player.

William Hitz was the Federal Judge.

Prince Fielder

Two-time Home Run Derby champion Prince Semien Fielder launched a ball nearly out of Citi Field during batting practice in the 2013 opening round. This is reminiscent of his days back in the minor leagues, when fans would arrive early at the ballpark to watch his batting shows. Although some believe that Fielder hit a round-tripper into the upper deck of Tiger Stadium at age 12, he straightened out the facts in an interview: turns out, he simply hit the ball over the fence. As that piece of trivia perhaps implies, Fielder has always been around baseball; his father played in the minor and major leagues, once starring for the Detroit Tigers. Fielder himself entered the big leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers. Currently, however, Fielder has joined the team his father once played for. In 2012, the Detroit Tigers signed the fourth-largest deal in baseball history for Fielder, at $214 million. Before reporting to Detroit’s camp for the first time, Fielder used his sons’ video games to preview himself being on the Tigers’ club. "I just did that at home," he said. "Me and my boys, we just traded me over.” Since the real trade, a fan has posted a song onto the Internet dedicated to the power hitter: a parody of “Someone Like You” by Adele, called “Slugger Like You,” sung from the perspective of the Brewers’ general manager Doug Melvin.

William Hitz

After graduating from Harvard College, Judge William Hitz earned his LL.B. from Georgetown College of Law (later renamed Georgetown University Law Center).

In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Hitz to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. 15 years later, President Hoover appointed Hitz to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Judge Hitz had a notable social circle; in fact, he counted counted Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis among his friends.
