Belle was considered surly because he was a reformed alcoholic. He was from the worst projects in Shreveport and was an alcoholic by the time he was 12 years old. Most of his friends at that age were dead when he was 18. It was considered one of the worst project housing in the US if not the worst.

He was a reformed alcoholic but was really nervous around people because of it and he wanted mostly to be left alone and was considered surly because he refused interviews. The man had problems most people never have and never understand.

He had issues.

Definitely one of the most batting stances I used in my whiffle ball games as a kid in the 90’s. Probably second after Canseco and Ripken or Gonzalez being 3rd.

Uh, no. You have him confused with someone else.

I agree with you, but the media doesn't see it that way. If you don't play ball with them, they will crush you. Oh, and to the other guy, corked bat, schmorked bat. The guy at his prime in the majors was every bit as effective as the greats of his day. Period.
