Episode 283 of “The Sports Experience Podcast” is here & we’re back on the diamond discussing Albert Belle.
Keeping his temper and attitude under control was a constant battle for Albert Belle during his baseball career.
The battles included trying to fight an unruly and bigoted fan in the SEC Tournament in college, issues regarding hustle with numerous MLB managers, outright berating media members and even taking a bat to the thermostat and Kenny Lodton’s boombox with Cleveland.
Nevertheless, there were few if any more feared hitters in the American League during the 1990s than Belle. His 1995 campaign included an AL Pennant and the first 50 home run and 50 double season in big league history.
Belle made five All Star teams, won five silver sluggers and led the AL in RBIs three times during his prime. Sadly, a hip condition erased what could have been a potential Hall of Fame career after the 2000 regular season.
Listen while we discussing the ultimate highs and ultimate lows of one of MLB’s angriest yet most dangerous power hitters of his era.
