Fielder embarked on his baseball journey when the Baltimore Orioles drafted him in the 31st round of the 1981 amateur draft. Although initially drafted by the Kansas City Royals the following year, he was soon traded to the Toronto Blue Jays. During his initial four seasons with the Jays, Cecil recorded 31 home runs alongside 84 runs batted-in, leading to a considerable increase in his annual income. Following his appearance with the team in the 1985 American League Championship Series, Fielder decided to depart from the Blue Jays, moving to Japan to continue his career. However, he ultimately returned to the Detroit Tigers, gaining prominence as an outstanding power hitter. His time with the team witnessed his best hitting performances, resulting in him leading the American League in home runs twice and in runs batted in thrice. Subsequently, upon his transfer to the New York Yankees, he participated in two A.L.C.Ss (in 1996 and 1997), and was part of manager Joe Torre’s World Championship Yankees team. In 1990 and 1991, Cecil was the runner-up in the A.L.’s Most Valuable Player voting. During this period, he was regarded as one of the most feared sluggers before retiring from baseball in 1997, concluding his career with 319 home runs and 1008 RBIs.

Since retiring, Cecil has managed the South Coast League’s Charlotte County Redfish and the Atlantic City Surf of the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball. In March 2011, he joined the Torrington Titans advisory board.

On the personal front, Fielder has been married twice. His first marriage, to Stacey Lynn Granger, lasted from 1983 to 2004, following which he married Angie Fielder in 2005. In October 2004, there were reports of Fielder struggling with gambling and domestic issues, as per court documents and lawsuits brought against him by several casinos, hotels, and credit card companies. However, these cases and the counter-accusations seemingly amounted to nothing.
