Detroit Tigers star Cecil Fielder hopes to hit another home run - not on the ballfield, but in children's bathrooms.
The first baseman has teamed up with Andre Dawson of the Boston Red Sox and former Montreal Expo Warren Cromartie to market dental hygiene products with a baseball motif.Coming soon from Sports Dent are a bat-shaped toothbrush, a toothbrush holder that plays "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," a dental-floss dispenser shaped like home plate and baseball cards on which kids can record their RBIs: Runs Brushed In.
"It was something I was definitely interested in . . . getting kids into the bathroom and brushing their chops a little bit more," Fielder said Friday.
"I always have to yell at (my son) Prince to get in there and do what he has to do. I know mothers and fathers all across the country have the same problem."
