“Wow, mutter Fielder as he gazed at the city of blight and decay in front of him. I do not remember this city being such a piece of crap when I was a kid. What the hell happened here?
Though Fielder was in Detroit during the off season to finalize his contract and be introduced by the team, he admits the trip was brief and busy, and did not afford him the time to get out in the city. Now that the regular season has begun and he’s been able to settle in, Fielder has been able to see what a terrible city Detroit is.
“Man,” said a dejected Fielder. “I just assumed it hadn’t changed much from when I was a kid. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I cant believe I’m spending my next nine years here. But hey, at least I get to spend some time in Cleveland and Chicago’s south side. Those places are still nice, right?
