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.

Didn’t he have to be held back from hopping the outfield fence in college to go after a heckler? Belle had to be the scariest MF in baseball for a decade

There are some lines that should not be crossed, and talking about someone’s past struggles with alcohol in that manner is not okay. Fan deserved it

If LSU fans got to an outfielder that way this board would be riotous in approval.
