Hello, my name is Joey Belle.

"RBIs win games; and they can make you a ton of money."
- Albert Belle

I grew up during the magical years of great Cleveland Indians Baseball. From 1994-2001, the Tribe gave me so many memories. From 2 World Series appearances, to great watchable players, to experiences I will never forget at Jacobs Field. (FYI Ringing Albert Belle will always recognize the home of the Indians as "Jacobs Field". Never Progressive Field.) One player that sticks out in my mind is Albert Belle. One of the best hitters in game. Ever. One of six players to have nine consecutive 100-RBI seasons. The first man to ever hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in the same season.

I loved watching this man play. I was too young to understand his off the field antics, but it didn't really matter. I wanted to play the game like Albert Belle. Hard, dirty, quiet, yet known. Teammates, pitchers, coaches, and the media feared him.

So I dedicate this blog to Albert Belle. Not only will I post about current Cleveland Indians stories, but I will look back on a Hall-of-Fame career that should have been. With quotes, stories, pictures, anniversaries. Let us remember the man that was...Albert Belle.
