July 1994, Belle, with a godly +1.100 OPS, was caught with a corked bat and suspended 10 games. Of course Jason Grimsley went Walter Sobchack and climbed through the air vent to try and switch the corked bat for a ringer. Belle ultimately got 7 games for the incident. What's the matter, hitting homers to the 10th row isn't as good as whacking them to the 11th row?
October 1995, Belle gets fined 50 large for chasing reporter Hannah Storm from the dugout. Dude, media coverage is part of the game, live with it.
Late October 1995, Belle tries to runover some kids who egged his house on Halloween. You live in America bro, this happens every year.
April 1996, Belle chucks a ball at a photographer trying to take a pregame photo of him, luckily Belle's accuracy wasn't great.
May 1996, Belle takes his sexual frustration out on little Fernando Vina of the Brewers, the lone player who appeared not to be juicing during the 90s, when he rams into him on a double play ball. Belle was suspended 3 games for the incident. Pick on the little guy why don't ya.
1997, first year in Chicago, busts up a thermostat in the locker room because teammates were adjusting the temperature (roid rage anyone?). He also admits to gambling on sports, and cusses out a reporter by the batting cage. What'd he walk up to you and ask you to take a urine test?
1998, same day he's named AL player of the week, he's arrested for domestic battery.
February 2006, Belle told not to have any contact with former ex-girlfriend, call-girl, etc., who'm he had stalked. Joey tracked her with a GPS device and frequently called her and would hang up immediately afterwards.
July 2006, Belle pleads guilty to stalking charges. Belle will spend a minimum of 90 days in jail for violating the terms of his bond.
Athletes are multi-millionaire celebrities these days. Who of them actually plead guilty to any charged crimes? Who of them don't put together excellent legal defense teams to keep them out of jail? Apparently multi-million dollar Joey can't figure it out. And of course that is the very reason why I love Joey Belle.
It would take an act of science to engineer another Albert Belle. Afterall, he was what, about 3 parts Manny, 2 parts T.O., 4 parts Dennis Rodman, 1 part Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, 2 parts Wilton Guerrero, 4 parts Randy Moss, 2 parts Pete Rose, and 3 parts Barry Bonds.
