Prince Fielder, of the Milwaukee Brewers is another star. He's young and plays the game well. He is recognized as an outstanding first baseman. He's respected by his team mates and considered by many to be a leader amongst his peers. He's also the son of Cecil Fielder a Major League Baseball star in his own right.

There is the promise in tonight's game of National League talented youth. The NL has taken quite a beating at these annual meetings between the leagues. This time things could be different, and the difference could be found in the skills of the young athletes featured on the NL side.
