1991 After a heckler calls him 'Joey,' a name he dislikes and makes references to his problems with alcohol, Albert Belle responds by picking up a foul ball and nailing the offensive offender in the chest from 15 feet away. Although the fans supported his action, the Indian outfielder is fined and suspended for one week

I would imagine he would get closer to a year suspension if this happened present day.
