Description

Hit it here, Cecil!  Seven-year old Brent Mees came all the way from Jackson to watch Cecil Fielder’s September 26, 1990 attempt to hit 50 home runs. With his father’s glove slipping out of his tiny hand, he waited, and waited, and waited… But Fielder wouldn’t break the 50-homer barrier until the final game of the season in New York. For good measure, Fielder hit another shot and finished with 51.
