Don't go there, we have guys who were grand dragons of the KKK in the Hall. And a few liars, murderers, and whatnot... think about it. This guy was a beast at hitting, and as a fan, realize he wasn't afraid of anyone. He's just a man like we all are, and he was never fake, ever... he didn't lie like most others. ALBERT BELLE... I miss your at-bats. You taught most of us a lot, and baseball fans miss you.

Read Canseco's book. "Belle is the strongest Natural man I have ever seen"

Few people know Albert frequently delivered unsold ballpark foods to inner city shelters after games👏👏

My biggest memory of 1995 was how royally Belle was ripped off of the MVP that year. The only thing Mo Vaughn had more of was strike-outs, and that year shows without a doubt how vindictive and biased many of the sportswriters who are on the voting committees are.

It's his behavior people have always had issues with. Did the media make him refuse to take first after being HBP? Of course not. Belle, by his own admission, has made a few poor choices in his playing career and the media pointed them out. Rightly so. So stop with the holier than thou nonsense about the media. That's YOUR narrative not Belle's or anyone else's.

Miss you Nagy, Albert. And so many others. There will NEVER be a team like we had back then. We should have won it all. Thanks for the memories. I'll never forget those years.

Neither Manny or Thome were the best hitter on this team. That honor belongs to Albert Belle

1995 was a great year for the Indians that I'll never forget. Yes winning the World Series would have been the cherry on top, but to win the first pennant since 1954, to have the best record in baseball, to witness all of the great comeback wins, THAT was the hot fudge sundae with whipped cream that the fans needed and enjoyed just fine!

Nagy was my favorite pitcher. I used to pitch like him in little league. I have always wanted to meet him. That team was unreal. The most exciting baseball in my lifetime. And in my opinion, the greatest team in history. That line up was so stacked and the pitching was unreal. All those come from behind wins was unreal. I never gave up hope even when they were down. Just like when they came back to beat Seattle. I remember where I was when Eddie got his 3,000. I remember where I was when Belle got his 50/50. I remember where I was when Manny hit that home run off Dennis.

Albert, come back to Cleveland to say hi to the fans. We WILL support you, you're loved in Cleveland!!!!

I remember being at a game in 1995, I don't remember who we were playing, it was extra innings, I think the 12th. They were going to stop the game because of the 1 am curfew, and finish it the next afternoon, the stadium was sold out of course and it was a warm summer night, Albert Belle was the first batter, as he stood in the batters box, going through his practice swings, they started playing hells bells by ac DC, he slowly walked towards the batters box, and the song got louder and louder, everyone knew he would hit a home run, he did crush the first pitch, the crowd was insane, to be Albert Belle at that moment, priceless, I think my best baseball memory ever

Albert was a bit of a live wire, he played with a passion. But there's nobody else (even given the lineup the Indians had in '95) I would have rather seen step into the batter's box when the game was on the line.

Anyone else skip the Charles Nagy part? Big bird was always a boring interview! Belle rules!

I swear Albert Belle had a split personality - because every interview I have seen of his he comes across like this - very well spoken, intelligent and not angry. I remember a rare interview he did during his playing days with Peter Gammons around 20 years ago and was stunned to see how he came across. A lot of guys with anger issues (Bob Knight, Barry Bonds, etc) come across as tense and angry in interviews but Belle never did.
