"On the surface, Milwaukee Brewers teammates Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder appear to be the Odd Couple of Clout, with little in common other than their propensity to launch baseballs to the nether regions of major-league ballparks.

Braun is SoCal cool, with ownership stakes in trendy restaurants and a clothing line. He was cursed with GQ looks and the athletic ability to rope a double into either corner while falling out of bed in the dark.

Fielder grew up around ballparks, the son of a major-leaguer, and there is nothing dapper about him. Built like a Soviet-era weightlifter, he looks perpetually disheveled in his baggy and often dirty uniform. His swing is violent, and when he squares up on a fastball, it's not coming back."
