Fielder pursuing Brewers’ RBI record

Prince Fielder is taking his pursuit of a 26-year-old Brewers record out on the road. Five RBIs on the team’s just-completed homestand gave Fielder 125 this season, just shy of the franchise mark set by fellow left-handed-hitting first baseman Cecil Cooper in 1983. Fielder will continue his pursuit of the record when the Brewers begin a three-game series in Arizona on Friday night, and Cooper, the manager of the Houston Astros, will be watching the box scores.


“He’s a good young player, and he’s going to break a lot more [records] before he’s done,” Cooper said Wednesday while the Astros were in the middle of a series against the Braves.

Fielder is well aware of Cooper’s accomplishments during his 11 seasons in Milwaukee and 17 seasons in the Major Leagues. Fielder ticked off some of Cooper’s credentials, including a .298 career batting average and two big run-production seasons. Cooper led the American League with 122 RBIs in 1980, then tied Boston’s Jim Rice for the lead in ‘83 with 126.
