The Prince of Arlington disrobes:Texas Rangers Prince Fielder takes it all off - ESPN The Magazine Body Issue

"Being away from my teammates and the game is tough. I can't do much for the next couple months [following neck surgery for a herniated disk] besides light physical therapy. It's weird.

I just didn't understand what was going on. When I made contact [with the ball], my left arm would give way and I would roll over on the ball, rather than being able to use my power to lift the ball. But after I received a [nerve-root] injection and the strength still didn't come back, [I knew I'd have to have surgery]. I wasn't going to help my team playing like that.

I can't do much of anything right now. I have to let the process of healing take place. I just started doing physical therapy a few times a week, but a lot of that is in my hip right now where they shaved some of the bone to use in my neck. I have the feeling back [in my neck and left arm] and I'm pain-free, so I look forward to a full recovery and getting back out there next year, doing what I do and helping the Rangers win.

You don't have to look like an Under Armour mannequin to be an athlete. A lot of people probably think I'm not athletic or don't even try to work out or whatever, but I do. Just because you're big doesn't mean you can't be an athlete. And just because you work out doesn't mean you're going to have a 12-pack. I work out to make sure I can do my job to the best of my ability. Other than that, I'm not going up there trying to be a fitness model.

I got some nice 22s. My dad has big arms, and everyone in my family has them, so it's just normal in my house. I had them when I was younger too, but obviously there was a little more cholesterol behind them [laughs]. They've always been big, just needed to fill them out with some solid stuff in there.

The gummy bears tattoo was my idea. It's my son's favorite candy. The sketch was my other son's idea. It's a self-portrait of himself. I just showed the artist his sketch and had him tattoo it on my forearm. It looks like a stick person with big hair. It's pretty funny.

When I first started swinging a bat, I swung righty. So one time my dad came home and he wanted to see my batting stance. So I showed him. He says, "You don't hit right-handed. You hit left-handed." At that age I didn't even really think about it. Just like "all right," and I switched hands. He said I'd thank him later.

I was just swinging hard and got lucky. When I was 12, I was taking batting practice with an aluminum bat at Tiger Stadium. I don't know where it landed exactly, but upper deck somewhere. Yeah, people were surprised.
