Call us crazy, but we were under the impression that they would need more than one page to show off the Texas Rangers first baseman.
According to The Score, Prince Fielder will be one of several athletes to appear on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s immensely popular “Body Issue” when it hits newsstands later this week.
There are six different cover models this year, including Fielder, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, tennis sensation Venus Williams, swimming legend Michael Phelps, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka and snowboarder Jamie Anderson.
Fielder had season-ending surgery in late May but still made time for the “Body Issue” photo shoot and interview, in which he discusses injuries, tattoos, working out and, of course, eating.
“I need to feed the size,” Fielder said. “Obviously, I’m a big guy. But I also need to feed myself with the right things. I have a chef now, so it’s definitely easier to make sure that I’m getting full off of the right foods. If I don’t stay on it, it can get out of control.”
The “Body Issue” hits newsstands July 11. No offense, but we’ll take the one with Venus Williams on the cover instead:
