Albert didn't give a fukk about no one's feelings. That's why he did it. Ain't nobody that level of crazy/angry in today's game......Milton Bradley comes to mind, but I don't think he's on a roster this year.

If it's not illegal I'd imagine it's one of those unwritten rules of baseball

He was more chemically imbalanced than a$$hole:

He was suspended in 1994 for using a corked bat, and gained further notoriety for sending teammate Jason Grimsley through the building's ceiling panel to break into the locked umpires' dressing room to retrieve his corked bat and substitute it with another teammate's bat, resulting in a seven-game suspension.

. He also had unpleasant interactions with the public, once chasing down rowdy trick-or-treating vandals who were celebrating Halloween by throwing eggs at his home, hitting one of the vandals with his car.[]

It was a taken in baseball circles that Albert Belle was nuts... The Indians billed him $10,000 a year for the damage he caused in clubhouses on the road and at home, and tolerated his behavior only because he was an awesome slugger... He slurped coffee constantly and seemed to be on a perpetual caffeinated frenzy.

Few escaped his wrath: on some days he would destroy the postgame buffet...launching plates into the shower... after one poor at-bat against Boston, he retreated to the visitors' clubhouse and took a bat to teammate Kenny Lofton's boombox.

Belle preferred to have the clubhouse cold, below 60 degrees, and when one chilly teammate turned up the heat, Belle walked over, turned down the thermostat and smashed it with his bat. His nickname, thereafter, was "Mr. Freeze

thing is he still hasn't changed

One of the worst things about getting older is watching age wear down everyone else's edges, and wondering if the same thing is happening to you. That radical you knew is now a lawyer who hems and haws a lot about working inside the system, that one guy in the band you liked does corporate training seminars, and your favorite ballplayer sits on a soundstage in Connecticut braying at some haircut's lame puns and drinking gin out of a coffee cup.

Happily, Albert Belle is still Albert Belle, and, going by a recent interview with Bugs & Cranks, will probably remain Albert Belle forever. He's still just as pissed off over being robbed of the 1995 MVP award as you'd hope, just as convinced that he was the most productive hitter of his generation, and just as disdainful of Baltimore Orioles owner Peter Angelos. It's this bit, though—in which he improves on the usual retired-ballplayer bluster by not even bothering to make a ritual show of humility—that really shows he's still got it:

If you played today, what kind of numbers would you put up?

I feel like I would do the same as I did or probably better. I notice nowadays, pitchers are not as intimidating as back in my day when you're looking out on the mound and you might see a Roger Clemens or Randy Johnson or Nolan Ryan and a lot of other guys who were really intimidating. Nobody who pitches today would intimidate me.

Heading into the 2014 season, what player reminds you most of yourself on the field?

I rarely get to watch many baseball games, I have the MLB package and I watch a few innings here and there, but I don't really get to watch a whole game from start to finish, but you've got to love watching Miguel Cabrera.

He finishes off by randomly mocking Justin Verlander and bragging about that time helaunched Fernando Viña into orbit while breaking up a double play, which to be fair really was pretty cool. If there's any justice, someone will make him a manage

Because you'll catch a 95 MPH fastball to the dome.
