Prince Fielder falls down rounding third base (Video) ~ Holdout Sports

Texas Rangers DH Prince Fielder took a tumble while rounding third base in the first inning of Tuesday night's game against the L.A. Dodgers.

Fielder was on second base when Mitch Moreland hit a single to left field. Fielder was being waved home, but he lost his balance after stepping on the bag at third, stumbling and falling flat on his face. Fielder was forced to scramble back to third, which may have been a blessing as it would have been a close play at the plate.

The reactions of the Rangers players were priceless, as they could not hold back their laughter, and Fielder himself couldn't help but smile. You never know what might happen when Fielder runs the bases, but it's always fun to watch.

Things worked out in the end for Fielder, as he came home to score on a bases loaded walk and later knocked in a run with an infield single. The Rangers won the game 3-2.
