Albert Belle
Albert Belle was one of the most gifted and productive hitters of the 1990’s, leading the American League in RBI three different times, and leading the AL in home runs in 1995. He was also one of the biggest jerks in the game during the same time period. His petulant, antagonistic, and boorish behavior was constantly on display. He refused to apologize after being caught with a corked bat. He went on a profanity-laced tirade against NBC Sports reporter Hannah Storm. He reportedly destroyed postgame buffet spreads, and threw plates into the shower. When a bunch of vandals egged his house on Halloween night, he actually chased after them with his car, hitting one of them. The list goes on and on with Belle. There’s a reason that the New York Daily News openly called him “a surly jerk.”
