Site Navigation Albert Belle Quotes Baseball Almanac is pleased to present an unprecedented collection of baseball related quotations spoken by Albert Belle and about Albert Belle. "Albert (Belle) has a very intense personality and that can be a double-edged sword. It contributes to his success, because he's so driven, but it's not something you can just turn on or off. No matter what, he is going to reach his potential as a player and he is never going to have to wonder if he could have been better, because he's done all he can. It's wound up affecting other parts of his life, but it's made him a Hall of Fame-caliber player." - Cleveland Indians Media Rep Paul DePodesta in the San Francisco Chronicle (August 4, 1999) Albert Belle Quotes Quotes From Albert Belle "As soon as he closes the door, we hear a bombardment of egg shells on my door (1995 Halloween 'Incident'). So I come outside and chase them. As soon as I caught up with him, I slammed on the breaks and was jumping out of the car and was going to run after him. It was raining and it was kind of mucky back there. The truck kind of skidded , or whatever, and it slid and bumped him. He fell down and as soon as he fell down, he jumped back up and started running. I feel like I was targeted. It's a shame where people target athletes. If they would have done the same thing to my next door neighbor and had my neighbor chased them, they wouldn't have filed a report. I made a decision five years ago to live in a community and be involved in the community, and I never expected people to harass me." - Associated Press (January 14, 1996) | |
