He was last an Oriole so I guess it belongs here.

DUI, Exreme DUI and 2 counts of Indecent Exposure. At an AZ ST game.

This sounded terrible. I looked it up. Arizona words things weird. He could have been one beer away from being completely sober. His indecent exposure is probably that he was caught urinating.

 

Doesn’t sound like he should be hanging out with Delmon Young just yet.

It was more than that. He was peeing in a parking lot next to an occupied vehicle with a young girl in it. The father yelled at him to stop, which prompted Belle to wave his cash and prizes at them. Classy guy.

That’s weird. Probably enough to land a non-millionaire with some sex offender registry type charge.

Ive been in broadcasting for 40 years. I've been privileged to have met some outstanding human beings. Unfortunately, I also came upon some really bad people too. Albert Belle is on the top of my list. I don't wish to "kick a man" when he is down, but this is a guy who once tried to run kids over in his car on Halloween because they dared prank him. This is the same guy who threw a ball at a fan in the stands in a hostile, not friendly way.

Im sorry Belle has an issue with substances and apparently some sort of other issues. I don't mock that. I do want people to know that I tried many times to have him on my show and get "his side" of all the bad behavior.

Lets just say he wasn't interested.

In fact I flew some 3,000 miles to interview him several years ago and the Indians encouraged him to do the interview..and he stiffed me.

When Sandy Alomar tried to defend me...Belle wanted to fight Sandy.

It was another ugly incident.

He also wouldn't even shake my hand when I was introduced to him when he came to the Orioles.

He was a very angry, threatening person as a player.

He made millions of dollars playing a game. Fans loved him.

He gave little back in return.

Again, I wish for him only to find some light in his life and somehow find his way back into good graces...but he's my least favorite person I've ever met in sports...and its not even close.He owes me NOTHING..but he owes the game and the sport and  the public EVERYTHING. When you are sick though...its hard to see that.

This is a damned shame.

Us psychiatrist types would say Albert appears to have "issues."

The Orioles earned criticism for signing Belle, who had a bad reputation before joining the O's. I would never root for a player who I know is mean and crude. I don't root for egregious cheats. Baseball is better than football, in part because football is rife with thuggish behavior.

He had all the talent in the world, but that will be overshadowed by him being a bad guy.

He deserves every bit of criticism he gets as a human being.

Belle looks unrecognizable.  If you didn't tell me that was Belle, I wouldn't have know it was him.  Belle needs clean himself up and get some help. I don't think he too many years left at this rate.

The Fans loved him?  Or are you saying there were some examples of baseball fans, somewhere, who loved him?

Because in my experience he was one of the least liked players in baseball.  I was in the stands for O's-Indians games where the LF stands were peppered with hecklers for Joey.  The reaction when he came to Baltimore was somewhere between "what the heck are they doing?" and "I won't root for him even in an O's uniform."  He threw a baseball in the stands, well, because he's nuts, but also because the fans were heckling him about being an alcoholic.  Belle was one of the least loved players of his era.  Not that he didn't deserve it...

Belle group when interviewed about him and the HOF:

Quote

"I enjoyed every minute of it,” Belle said. “I might not have had a smile on my face all the time, but I did enjoy great moments."

He seemingly accomplished everything he did without steroids, once telling an interviewer, “I was just an angry black man.” Part of his reason for shying away might have had to do with a focus on sobriety that came after he went to rehab for alcohol abuse early in his career.

There were fans who loved Albert...for his performance. He looks good compared to Clemens, who dated a 15 year old who ultimately committed suicide. Plus a number of other unsavory acts that place Clemens far above Belle on the despicable list, imo.

I’d never heard about the rumored relationship between Clemens and Mindy McCready that is alluded to in your post.    Yes, we can all agree that grown men shouldn’t be dating 15-year olds.    Your post sort of implies that this relationship led to McCready’s suicide, but that doesn’t seem fair. McCready was 38 years old and had numerous relationships and personal issues between the time of her alleged relationship with Clemens and the time of her death.

Dean Cain was engaged to Mindy at one point and left that relationship, said she was "poisonous,"

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
