Baseball Historian Biography

An aggressive ballplayer Albert Belle drove in more runs during the 1990s than any other major leaguer, 1,009, and is the only player in baseball's long history to hit 50 doubles and 50 home runs in same season - 1995 with Cleveland. Belle drove in over 100 runs in nine (9) consecutive years, 1992-1998, including 148 with the Indians in 1996 and 152 with the White Sox in 1998. He assaulted American League pitching with his home run hitting - powering 28, 34, 38, 36, 50, 48, 30, 49, 37, and 23 home runs from 1991 thru 2000.

Belle's career ended abruptly in spring 2001 while playing for the Baltimore Orioles - an examination by two team doctors found Belle to have a severe case of degenerative arthritis of the right hip - forcing Belle to retire at age 34. "All I know he played hard for me every game. I had a tremendous relationship with Albert," said White Sox manager Jerry Manuel.

Albert Belle's career: .295 BA, 1726 hits in 1539 games, 381 HR, 974 Runs, 1239 RBIs, 683 Walks, 961 Ks, 88 Stolen Bases, a .369 on-base-pct, and a hefty .564 slugging percentage. Baseballhistorian.com - All Rights Reserved This Article.
