Tigers’ Prince Fielder gets caught stealing — a fan’s nacho

A man’s gotta eat!

Detroit Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder may not be known for stealing bases, but he’s now gaining notoriety for stealing something else.

Fielder tried to track down a foul ball in a game Thursday against the Seattle Mariners and couldn’t get to it, but he came away with something arguably better.

After his unsuccessful attempt to grab a foul pop-up on the run, Fielder not-so-subtly grabbed a nacho out of a fan’s tray and ate it before heading back to the diamond. The fan didn’t look all too upset to lose a chip to the five-time All Star.

Prince doesn’t always eat during games, but when he does, he chooses nachos.
