Agility is not a trait that Texas Rangers designated hitter/first baseman Prince Fielder possesses. The 275-pound slugger gets a lot of power behind his swing and drives in runs like the best of them, but agile he is not.
So when he tried to climb over the dugout railing to celebrate the team’s thrilling 6-4 victory over the Blue Jays after the final out of the game on Friday, it didn’t work out too well for him.
Fielder tried to join his teammates who rushed onto the field to celebrate, but gravity was not on his side. He got stuck on the railing and just kind of rolled onto the field.
Safety first, Prince. Safety first. #OwnOctober pic.twitter.com/UE7UuH1jCL

Fielder and his teammates likely had a good laugh about it in the locker room afterwards.
