In 1989 Cecil Fielder went to Japan to learn how to hit the curve ball. He played for the Hanshin Tigers and hit an impressive 38 home runs that season with .302 batting average. In Japan Fielder was nicknamed "The Wild Bear" (wild, in Japan, is the image of power; bear, for his hulking presence).and he became a hero to the local baseball fans. During Fielders impressive career in the MLB and Japan he was a 3x All-Star (1990, 1991, 1993), 1996 World Series Champion, 2x Silver Slugger Award (1990, 1991), 2x AL home run leader (1990, 1991), 3x AL RBI leader (1990--1992).
