Albert Belle's Corked bat
It is July 15, 1994 at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois. The Cleveland Indians’ Albert Belle is accused by the Chicago White Sox’s General Manager of having a corked bat. Umpire Dave Phillips confiscated Belle’s bat and has it securely placed in the umpire locker rooms. However, the bat would not stay there long. Following the game, the Indians are accused of somehow switching the suspected bad bat with a bat that was uncorked, and stupidly enough, signed by Paul Sorrento. The Major League Baseball’s head offices demanded that the suspected bat be turned over for proper inspection. On July 18, 1994, the bat was sawed open in the presence of Belle and the Cleveland Indians’ General Manager. To the surprise of no one, cork was discovered. The league offices suspended Albert Belle for ten games; however, the suspension was later reduced to seven games. This by far was not Belle’s first unethical dilemma. Before starting his career for the Indians, he was known as “Joey”, and played for Louisiana’s LSU. Having set several school records, he was expected to do well for the play-offs. However, because of bad behavior, he ended up with a post-season suspension and missed the College World Series
