Detroit News broke the story that Prince Fielder, who plays for the Milwaukee Brewers, owes $409,149 to the federal government in unpaid taxes. Prince is the son of former Detroit Tiger great, Cecil Fielder, who currently manages the independent league Atlantic City Surf baseball team.
The apple apparently does not fall far from the tree as Cecil had financial problems of his own four years ago. According to public records, he lost $47 million through bad business decisions. However, Cecil and Prince have not spoken in years after Prince accused his father of money extortion.
