KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Prince Fielder made a splash at the All-Star Home Run Derby. Eight of them.
The Detroit slugger joined Ken Griffey Jr. as the only players to win multiple titles, thrilling the crowd at Kauffman Stadium with several shots into the right-field fountain and beating Toronto’s Jose Bautista 12-7 in the final Monday night.

”Just being mentioned with him is real special,” said Fielder, who spent time at Griffey’s house when he was a kid. ”My dad would let me go over and play video games all day. He always took care of me when I was a kid.”
