Prince Fielder won tonight the 2009 Home Run Derby. But how did Prince compare to dad Cecil Fielder’s Derby entries?

Dad Cecil Fielder participated in three Home Run Derby years. Two years ago, Prince never got out of the first round. Tonight that changed for Prince with his 6-5 win over Nelson Cruz.

And dad Cecil? Cecil reportedly never delivered more than four home runs in any of three Derby years. Prince tells press he remembers well the 1991 homer by Cecil off the glass in Toronto.

Tonight, Prince had his two kids watch him win along with wife, Chanel, profiled earlier. Fielder delivered 23 home runs in 3 rounds, averaging 439 feet.
