And he untucks for the St. Louis crowd.

Prince Fielder started strong and did not fade as he beat hometown favorite Albert Pujols and St. Louis native Ryan Howard on the way to a victory in the finals over former Brewer Nelson Cruz.

Fielder totaled 23 home runs for the victory, the first ever by a Milwaukee Brewer. He hit 11 home runs in the first round (tied with Cruz for the lead) and six home runs in the second round (second behind Howard’s eight in that round). In the final round, Prince locked up the competition with his sixth home run with three outs to spare.

Late in the competition, ESPN flashed a graphic that showed Prince had four out of the five longest home runs in the competition including the top three. His longest home run was 503 feet.

Overall, the competition was way too long, like usual, but it was worth the wait to see Fielder take the crown.

There’s more on the competition at Brewers.com, MLB.com and JSOnline.

    Make way for the Prince…. I was watching the Derby in a Bar in Downtown Chicago…. They are so scared of the Brewers its insane they were purposely rooting for Prince and Albert to lose from the get go….. Are they so ingrained with white trash that they even care about some rather pointless thing…

    Chuckie Hacks had a post that very astutely pointed out that while Braun is the (anglo-semitic) face of the team in many fans eyes, Fielder really is the heart of that team. He’s certainly a more likeable fellow than the preening fratboy douchspackle that is Braun (still love ya, Braunie.)
