Occupation: Baseball Player Birth: August 25, 1966
There were so many Cuban-Americans upset that we were going to Cuba and I was curious to see why they were so angry, and anti-Castro. I found out as ….
I notice a lot of hitters fraternize with pitchers. I see guys laughing and giggling before the game. These are the same pitchers who are trying to b….
I think a lot of people are aware of the things I do, but maybe because of who I am, they don't want to report the good things about Albert Belle..
What we should have done is kept the same team that played in the '95 World Series. Those trades (Eddie Murray & Carlos Baerga) caused a lot of chaos….
People don't need to know what Albert Belle is thinking. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, and that's what's made me a better person..
I'm not going to get a hit every time in clutch situations, but over the course of the season I'll get a lot of clutch hits. I'm disappointed it's co….
Back in 1987 when they drafted me. The Indians were the only team interested in taking a chance on Albert Belle, and I made the most of it. Hopefully….
People tried to test me (in 1999) and I came up with some pretty good throws. Everybody on the team calls me 'Bazooka' now. That's kind of like a nic….
I feel education is more important even now for the younger generation than when I was younger. The kids really need to buckle down and get a good ed….
Going to a new team is like going to a new high school. Nobody knows you. It's a chance to rebuild your image..
I mean, people think I'm too intense for baseball. I've always excelled to be the best, no matter what, but it's like people think something is wrong….
It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling..
It's an individual sport (golf), so it's the exact opposite of baseball. If you hit a bad shot, you can't say, 'Well, this happened.' It's just you. ….
The way I figure is we win as a team and we lose as a team, but I've got to figure out some way where I can have a better April and help the team get….
In baseball, I don't fraternize with players when it's time to hit. I'm preparing for the game. It's the most important time of the day. And I know i….
When you talk about locker room betting, we bet on everything... It's no different than anyone else's office pool. Money changes hands in the locker ….
I've been treated there (Camden Yards in Baltimore) just like everywhere else: you got everyone booing for you. I take that as a compliment..
I have high expectations for myself. I'm not out there playing the game just to be playing it. I want to win a championship..
Moral values have been thrown out the window. Christianity is out the window. And that's wrong. Parents should be at home, teaching kids right from w….
While in the clinic, I discovered I had problems with concentration, motivation, attitude, and temper. I have found a new way of life through the cli….
In the past I've tended to overreact. I was sure I'd be a superstar by the time I was twenty-one. Baseball messed up my plan of life. When I fail I g….
