David Ortiz, Prince Fielder and Cecil Fielder would never be labeled as boasting svelte physiques, and their relatively portly figures were recently utilized for comic effect in a new ad campaign for Kingsford.

The three former sluggers took part in a nude — or seminude, perhaps — photo shoot in which they showcase comfort with their bodies and love for meaty grilled charcoal goodness.

These photos are rare. @davidortiz, @RealPFielder28 and Cecil Fielder show off their #BodyByBBQ.

Body by BBQ, indeed.

Ortiz, Fielder and son Prince — the latter who previously went au naturel for a celebrated appearance in the 2014 ESPN The Magazine Body Issue — clearly have no issue baring it all for the ad campaign.

It also merits noting that none other than Bartolo Colon was featured in a previous commercial for Kingsford.

While some people would be lazy and refer to the bit as nightmare fuel, these Big Papi, Cecil and Prince Fielder deserve credit for being comfortable in their own skin.
