UMPIRE: he hit you with the pitch, you gotta walk to first
BELLE: what pitch?
UMPIRE: *nervously* yeah...what pitch?
🤣🤣🤣
Hit em with the Deebo lmao 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
UMPIRE: I need an adult!
Funniest comment bruh
You forgot to mention the best part: Belle already had three home runs in this game. He was looking for number four. That's why he didn't want to take the HBP.
That's fucking badass thanks for sharing that. Really would have set the scene of Jomboy had mentioned that
Makes it more personal that he got hit. Wrong dude to try and push off the plate, they might as well have walked him
Why would he have to mention it? If you pay attention you can see it on the screen/video
@@dominicc1981 All of this is on the screen, so technically he shouldn't have to say anything, right?
Michael Biscay why are you repeating what I just said
Met this dude when I was 8. He was the largest human being I had ever met by that time. Probably still to this day. He squatted down to get eye to eye with little ole me and told me “listen to your father now, or I’ll hear about it.” I’m still on my best behavior within my pops presence. 😂
LOL Bo Jackson would dwarf him. And knock his lights out !
@@DaGr8Depression well I haven’t met Bo…. Soooo your reply means squat
@@isaacmartinez7557 fccn bozo eat a frank. Belle is Bo wanna be tough guy
Dam you've been good ever since I bet😂
Thats actually a cool story.
And this was Albert Belle in a good mood.
He was just mad he couldn't get away wither cork bats anymore.
Lol hate to see him in a bad mood
Must have been a non roid rage day
best part is, nobody wanted to argue with him. they called his coach over to deal with it. XD
Truth....
I would too! Dude was a monster!
What's crazy is that nowadays they would have just given him the magical walk to first base.
for sure, play on.
He was on a mission
That would be an *awesome* rule change: "At his sole discretion, a hit batsman may decline to take first base, in which case no pitch had officially been thrown."
What happens if the pitcher throws at him again?
@@my3dviews Same thing? (Why not?)
@@my3dviews he gets to throw it back at the pitcher, who isn't allowed to dodge. (This some baseketball sounding shit, but I love it lol)
@@LeglessWonder Sounds more like dodgeball. LOL
@@my3dviews If he throws at him again he gets tossed from the game and the batter still gets to choose between taking first base or continue the at bat. 😏
Albert Belle had 50 Home Runs and 52 doubles in 1995. He slugged .690 with nearly a 1.100 OPS. Somehow he didn't win MVP.
The only reason I knew this is because it shows 50HR for him on World Series Baseball II on Sega Saturn and I always picked him for homerun derby.
Well because when u treat people the way he did, theyre not gonna vote for u
Yeah that was the year Mo Vaughn won it. Only thing Mo had more of was hits but not that many more. And Mo struck out about 60 more times too. Not sure why Albert didn't win it.
this is why i have so many of his baseball cards.
I'll bet that made him mad.
Belle was something. He would glare at the pitcher like he wanted to do terrible things to his family and you'd see his lips moving like some crazed killer talking to the voices in his head.
Max Scherzer as a kid: Ok, I have to look crazier than Belle.
That's how I look at the grocery store when some moron is holding up the line with some kind of bullshit expired coupon rant. Just accept that your coupon is expired so we can get on with it. I got perishables sitting in my cart, for crying out loud.
@@MkeKen67 lmfao i'm always pissed off at the grocery store, mainly b/c idiots at the self-checkout are so incompetent. makes me kind of glad we have to wear masks at the store b/c it covers up how pissed off i'm getting lol
it looked like they kinda almost let him keep batting because they were scared and confused LOL
No crap. They was like who are we going to get too get him to 1st.
@@3ddiagnosis654 Ump had a look on his face that said, "not sure, does he have to go to first?"
They weren't scared or confused. The truth of the matter is, umpires don't always know for sure whether or not a pitched ball hit a batter, especially back then before video review. They will look to the batter's reaction to gauge the situation. If the batter is wincing in pain, or automatically starts going to first without waiting for a call, etc... But since Belle stood there acting like he wasn't hit, the umpire didn't make him take first because he assumed he really wasn't hit by the pitch.
Of course they were... guy's juiced out of his mind raging with a bat in his hands.
i mean... would YOU argue with a professional baseball player holding a bat? I know I wouldn’t! lol
Umpire: "Take your base"
Albert: "No."
Umpire: "Understandable, have a nice day sir"
Lmao
Rolf 🤣 😂 🤣
Molding my boy to be like this..
Forreal 😆
@@stevesherlock5334 a psychopath? Belle was terrifying because he was crazy.
It's still hard to believe Cal Ripken and Albert Belle were on the same roster. Two incredible players who could not be more opposite.
+Brantley Henninger did you notice on Ripken hit, the guy in the field jumped over the ball without trying to catch it. I dont get that. It is his job to catch the ball, not let it roll by and wait for everyone to run around them bases. Smh.
Unless it is because it was an extra inning, I dont know the first thing about baseball, I just like Jomboy.
@@666mandrake The run was going to score anyway.
In this case they already won because it was the 9th or extra innings as the home team and took the lead and thus the game already.
@@KeenanLambert198 ty
@@666mandrake I don’t know if you’re trolling or not ...but for the sake of you really not knowing, the runner on third base has already scored by the time the ball got there. It was the winning run. Game over
"Angry in the plate, angry all the time" ... one of jomboy's best lines... and he's got a plethora of lines.
Yeah it’s cause all these guys had roid rage from all the needles in their asses
One time while he was playing for the White Sox he left a game early, went to the locker room and changed into street clothes, made his way into the stands, hunted down a Chicago fan who had screamed some pretty horrible shit at him throughout the first few innings and punched him right in the face. He was a special player.
yooo is there anywhere i can hear more about this?
Holy shit. If that’s true he a legend.
might be the GOAT for that one
no he didnt do this
Total BS
Ump: you’ve been hit by a pitch, take your base
Batter: I’d like to invoke “the Belle rule”. I’m not going.
Ump: fair enough. Hey pitcher, throw the MFing ball over the Fing plate
Can you imagine if that happen sometimes, sounds cool the belle rule
lolol
underrated comment. lol
Thanks for that good laugh 😆
official umpire mechanic for the Belle Rule
One game while playing for Baltimore, Albert hit a home run, and when he got back the dugout to receive his high-fives, one of his teammates started kidney punching him from behind. Belle turned around quick with a glare, ready to kill whoever was punching him. It was none other than Cal Ripken, Jr. himself. Albert immediately laughed it off. Anybody else would have died that day. Cal was one of the boys more than anybody ever knew.
Crazy the Cal is in his 60's now ... God that makes me feel old.
What a great story. I'd love to see that video
I was a usher for the Cleveland Indians from 1995- 2001.
Fabulous experience!!!
Until he left Cleveland we saw him every single day they played @ home ,as well as, the other amazing players
Albert was always kind and introspective.
Intense @ times but always approachable.
Usually he was quiet but cool with a head nod.
We talked briefly once. A truly memorable experience.
The convo was initially tense, tight and then heartwarming and especially thoughtful.
Sometimes he was with his twin brother who very cool and pleasant.
But Albert was normally pretty receptive to saying hello, a nod or wave to usher before the game...when respectful.
He never was disrespectful to me.
He should have been MVP several years but he wasn't an "Media Darling🤦🏾♀️"
Which was ridiculous because he was a 50/50 man in 1995!!!
The 1995-1997 Indians are still my favorite.
But I love our players this year
Albert still remains was one of my favorites✨️🌟✨️
Thank you for sharing this!
Belle was a complex, flawed man. Not a monster. If you dig deep into his life story it kind of explains why he was the way that he was.
I’m glad that you had positive experiences with him.
@@thecollegeofraI’m glad that he knows Jesus. Although he has his flaws, it’s nice to know that he gets remembered for his accomplishments.
Thanks for sharing!
Really want to start a movement to get Belle into the HoF while he's still alive, just because of how much it would piss him off.
Haha I like it
I'm in
That’s the best argument I’ve heard on his behalf.
Pissed about getting into HOF? I don’t get it
.
Fun fact: Albert Belle is one of only six players in MLB history to have nine consecutive 100-RBI seasons.
What a monster
The was not a fun fact... was kind of boring... sorry.
@@bontronblock it was interesting enough for your boring ass to reply
damnnnn what a stat
VortexIX Gaming
Dementia is a nasty thing.
When Albert Belle comes to your house, he gives you the WiFi password
If he didn’t feel that 90 mph pitch crush to his hand I don’t think he’ll feel your face hitting his 50 mph fist 😂🤣😂
But, your face will know, but your head probably won't remember. Especially if it kills you. Lol.
Belle seems like one of those guys who's actually fairly friendly, but is pissed off about feeling that way.
Look up what he did to some kids on Halloween.
I miss this guy. I know he's in Arizona now
lolol
he's absolutely not friendly in real life lol
He's not friendly at all.
He’s actually one of the biggest assholes in MLB history
Reminds me of Little League when we had a guy who would intentionally swing and miss at ball four on 3-0 counts because walking was boring. Only this is the major leagues lmao
what a little chad. i aspire to have his type of energy
We all did this as little kids lol
Reminds me of a little league game where it was an 0-2 count, and the pitcher threw a wild pitch and the batter swung and took a run for 1st (dropped strikeout rule). He didn't make it, but that was some of the smartest shit I've seen in LL
@@laurenm908_ Little Chad? He a Big Bell
We still do that in Softball. It’s a pay to play league, so why would I pay to walk?
Albert Belle was absolutely crazy. There's a story that's floated around for years that after a bad game Belle told Kenny Lofton to turn off his boom box in the locker room and when Lofton refused he stormed over to it with his bat and just destroyed the thing.
The most Alpha moment in mlb history
NAILED IT reply for the week🎆🌟💯💥
Albert Belle's 1995 league leading stats:
50 HRs, 126 RBI, 121 Runs, 52 Doubles, 377 Total Bases, and .690 Slugging Pct.
MVP award goes to Mo Vaughn???
What were his stats you ask?
39 HRs, 126 RBI, 98 Runs, 28 Doubles, 316 Total Bases, and .575 Slugging Pct
In fact, Albert beat Mo in nearly every statistical category
BA: .317 to .300
OBP: .401 to .388
OPS: 1.091 to .963
BBs: 73 to 68
However, Vaughn did league the league and nearly doubled Albert in one category- Strikeouts: 150 to 80
This might be the greatest MVP snub of all time. Albert was not liked by the press, and that is the only reason I can imagine why he did not take home the trophy that year, or any year for that matter.
Could make the argument he got snubbed in 98 too. Definitely didn't deserve 8th place.
Belle: 49 HRs, 152 RBIs, 81 BBs; .329, .399/.655/1.055
Gonzalez (winner): 45 HRs, 157 RBI, 46 BBs; .318, .366/.630/.997
Could have won in 96 too. Guy would have won 2 or 3 if the he and the media didn't hate each other. One of the best hitters of the 90s. Snubbed from the HoF.
Only lost because reporters hated him, and they hated him because they were afraid of him...
@Jason Fonseca Agreed. It's kinda stupid, but so are awards in a way. The fact that sometimes a player doesn't win bc he's not on a winning team is ridiculous. Winning is its own reward. MVP does not stand for Most Valuable Player on a team that made the playoffs. That's the MVPOATTMTP award.
And yes, I do remember 1987, and yes, I do know who Mike Trout is. But for the most part, the MVP award goes to a player on a winner.
@@drewmartin9148 Completely agree. Juan had some great years and this was one of them, but Belle's number are superior that year. Ironically, their career stats are quite similar with Juan having a little more longevity and injury plagued career. Miss those day
@@fenwayandwrigley .. juan was implicated in steroid use.. belle was not
When he played for the Indians, they nicknamed him “Mr Freeze” because he wanted the clubhouse cold, someone turned it up so he turned the thermostat back down then smashed it with a bat
moedanglez
Lol
Sounds like roid rage.
@Brion Stronghold eh, this still doesnt really help belle. Who the hell runs the ac at 40 degrees? Thats crazy
That's bad ass.
@@justinpelkey6722 I mean, it'd suck to be on that team. Can't be good for the locker room
My favorite player of all time. When I was a little kid my dad worked at Indian stadium directly with the team. He had an argument with belle. Belle hauled off and punched my dad. Dad was an ex pro boxer, also played 3 pre season games with the raiders, so deff not a pussy. They threw some blows and it was over. After the game belle took my dad to a restaurant nearby. And yes, this is a true story.
if u arent lying, damn
Omg😂😂
This comment right here, this is why i look at comments. You sir, deserve a medal.
Hell yeah
I remember him playing down at AAA Colorado Springs, the lineup they had was amazing, Belle, Thome, Baerga, Swindell, etc...
Swindell never played for Colorado Springs. He only pitched 3 games at Class A Waterloo and then was brought to the show in '86.
I'm sure after watching Belle's reaction, the pitcher was hoping he'd be forced to go to first as well. If the pitcher had been forced to throw again to him, that ball is going 500 feet
Or through him (the pitcher) on a line drive.
Eh, Belle was a shell of his former self by ‘99. Also, he was a fucking hothouse flower so he was well-known for stunts like this.
He wasn't the Albert Belle of 3-4 years earlier, but he hit three home runs in the game in question. He was locked in that day, and he knew it.
@@bobmclennan1727 Thank you for correcting that idiot. There's always SOMEBODY in the convent section that SWEARS they are an expert level talent scout (as they completely ignore the actual facts). Smh
Modern day Yasiel Puig, was playing my twins and ump called a shitty strike, he just licked his bat and then hit a 450 foot bomb
Loved Albert when he was with Cleveland, especially when after he was accused of corking his bat and then hit one out of Jacobs Field and then pointed at his biceps.
Lol
I wish someone had accused Bo of corking. Then he could just snap it in half over his knee, and show em it wasn't.
@@ckmoore101 AHAHAHA
Haha
Remember it also. "The cork is in my muscles."
I’ve watched this clip more than any other Jomboy clip ever. Truly one of my favorite CZcams videos ever haha
WHAT A CLASSIC.
Played with Albert for the Hyannisport Mets in Cape Cod league in 1987. Super cool guy and I just remember him with the wooden bats out there just jacking up home runs. Robin Ventura was also on our team. Great guy too
Belle should be in the Hall of Fame:
MLB leader in RBI's during the 90's
MLB leader in Extra-Base Hits during the 90's
4th player in history to have 8 straight 30 HR and 100 RBI seasons
First player ever to hit 50 HR and 50 doubles in the same season (only 143 games)
From '93 - '99, he averaged 114 runs, 45 doubles, 44 HR, 137 RBI, 12 steals, a .308 AVG, a .391 OBP, and a .993 OPS per 162 games
Belle is the only player in history to average atleast 40 doubles, 40 HR, and 130 RBI per 162 games for his career
Y isn’t he in?
Yeah don't forget about the corked bat incident. Also, the media hates him. He may have to wait for that new committee(Todays Game Era) to get in.
Mike mussina avg 11 wins.... HALL OF FAMER.
Bat today
Ridiculous
He was also on that Palmero gear and was a selfish asshole on the field.
Skip comes out; "what's going on? Why are we angry?"
Albert Belle: "🤬 I'm Albert Belle. Now throw the &#@% ball."
He was the Alex Johnson of his era. Johnson supposedly said that he didn' t want to shake hands when he hit a homerun. When asked why he said " nobody shakes my hand when I strikeout." Kevin Mitchell was pretty scary too. I remember him catching that fly ball bare handed.
Yea, you don't want to mess around with a guy who can catch a flyball bare handed on the run like it's nothing.
If Albert Belle wasn't so detested by sports writers he'd be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Yup, only guy to hit 50 home runs and 50 doubles in the same year EVER.
True
Nah. Only 40 WAR
@@rebeltvr6046 144 game season
Whether the writers liked him or not, a corner outfielder power hitter from the steroid era with 381 career HRs is going to have a hard time getting in. He just didn’t have a long enough prime (his last elite season was age 32). He was a beast for about 5 years though.
This feels like an episode of Drunk History
It really did when the narrator and caption matched what Belle was mouthing.
That's this whole channel lol. The style is funny
Albert Belle played by Jordan Peele
This comment goes down in history lol so true
Robert Christensen I just respect this , not too many times are we moved . But this is a fine time to be be moved just WOW !!
I loved Albert Belle when I was a kid. I love him even more now. They don't make dudes like that anymore.
Same here!!!
I’m an Orioles fan, and I was over the moon when we finally went and got someone of his caliber. It just sucks we didn’t get more out of him.
One of my favorite Indians to this day!
He probably would have struck out!! I loved him too though
Who’s they? Where were they producing these kinds of guy? FYI those kinds were being made often in my parents bedroom. Now I’m pumping those types out in my bedroom with my wife. Oh..... we branched out and my siblings are making them as well. Nothing but thoroughbreds cousin. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Belle is still the only player in Major League history to hit 50 doubles and 50 homeruns in the same season! He was one of the most feared hitters during his time!
Albert was out there Debo'ing grown men on the baseball diamond. They had to get his coach to talk him into taking his base. You just know if they let him stay and hit he was going to rocket one into Orbit if the pitcher gave him anything to hit.
the lip reading on this channel is priceless
I remember driving home from Cleveland at night listening to the Indians play and I swear every time Albert Belle stepped to the plate and they needed a big hit he would hit it out of the park. I still get chills thinking about Tom Hamilton's call "A DRIVE to deep right!...Waaaaaaaaaaaaay back ....GONE!!! " Those were the days...
Hells Bells was his walk up song. Shit used to light that city right up! Miss those days
@Samoht, is eternal yes and it was epic each time he came to the plate. The bells would start and the guitar would rip in. Similar to major league when wild thing played.
I'm a Sox fan in Chicago and listen to Tom Hamilton on 1100 in my car every chance I get. Especially when the Sox play the INDIANS ⚾️
Love the radio
@@Adam-ze1jwdamn I remember that. It was such a great place to go. Jacobs field

Thank God...
Probably totally would’ve crushed a dinger too if they’d let him take another pitch
Oh that shit would've gone 580ft if he would've thrown it.
Easy to do with a corked bat.
@@jaturungkabart5554 you'd pop up to 2nd base with a corked bat
I know id be soooo mad
Had they allowed him to hit after that, there is nothing stopping the pitcher from throwing at him again.
Lack of celebration. Cal Ripken was a predetermined outcome, nothing to celebrate
Lmao
lolol
Exactly
Why celebrate what should be routine? Getting a hit to walk off victory. These athletes now days are the "look at me!" culture.
@@selfaccountable3464 oh shut up
Umpire: Albert, take your base.
Albert glares at him.
Umpire: you heard the man, play ball.
I’ll never forget as a kid watching this guy get unanmusly boo’d every year, every season, every time he got to the plate. And cheered everytime he got out 🤣
In 1995 Belle was clearly the MVP of the AL, but, the writers were either too scared or hated him too much to give it to him. .317 52 HRs 126 RBI .690 Slug 1.091 OPS 7.0 WAR. led the league in slugging, RBIs , doubles, HRs.
i just checked baseball reference and uhhh wtf how did he not win it
Yeah, he deserved that MVP. Mo Vaughn (1B Red Sox) won it...Belle was a close 2nd.
Neither player was much of a defender, both teams made it to the postseason, so just came down to offense.
Belle was far and away the better offensive player.
Just goes to show how much of a joke baseball writers are....most of them are 60+ and lose their minds whenever the game isnt played like its 1948. The hall of fame selection process is the biggest joke of all, like how is the all time HR and hits leaders not in the HoF, especially considering that steroids were not banned until 2006. This is why baseball is America’s pastime and not America’s future.
SamSamSam the sports writers are all dorks who never played past little league and get all butt hurt whenever players are mean to them. They should 100% not be allowed to vote on any type of award or HOF
Obmot58 P Bonds absolutely should be in the HOF.
This guy was one of the best hitters and most feared in the game of his time. He should be in the HOF
Albert Belle is kinda a forgotten star. Beast of a player but infinitely hated by sports media
They hated him because he was a man and the man!
The most striking part is that he was completely unphased by that pitch high and inside.
Plot twist: Belle knew an obscure rule from 1883 where the batter has the option of declining the free pass.
How is that a plot twist?
Plot twist: Someone knowing the definition and using the phrase "plot twist" in a sentence correctly.😩🤦
Jjjjj thats hilarious

Austin Heath they fall just short of the Maryland point lol
It was for the new millennium lol
Even recently, like Chris Sales tantrum over the "throw back" jerseys the White Sox were supposed to wear. The damn things were absurd.
We have Ken Griffey, Jr to thank for them. He walked into the Mariners marketing department one day and announced he had a great idea for a promotion. Would have featured backward caps when they played the field, but the League nixed it.
My dad and I were at this game. Belle had tied the game to send it to extras with a two-out, bottom of the ninth home run. Awesome ball player and great memories!
He wouldn’t have remained angry if they would have just thrown the next pitch...

Kept his cool , even when was angry. How do you not admire that?

I went to this game. First row down the 1st base line. One of my fondest memories was when Cal hit a foul that rang off the railing of the camera pit at the end of the dugout. I was 4 seats in from that, and you could feel the vibration down the row of seats.
Wish umps were still like this. Now they’d throw somebody out for looking at them the wrong way🙄
1:43 😆
The dude just skipped over the ball! Like nope I’m done, we’re done. Haha
Always loved Albert Belle's presence at the plate. I was just like, "This dude's out of a movie. Grade A badass."
Gotta hand it to him. He took the ball like a champ and was confidant that he wanted to keep batting.
I saw him back in college when he was Joey Belle. The stadium had some railroad tracks past the wall and it took a monster shot to reach the tracks. Joey crushed a ball so hard I swear that thing was still going up when it went over the tracks.
That's right boys and girls.
There was a time when baseball players pretended they DIDNT get hit instead of flopping like they're dying.
I know its hard to believe.
However what's more remarkable is that there was a time when the Orioles won 11 of 13.
No Albert Belle was just a special case. Everyone else back then would have been content to take first, if not happy.
@@tchoupitoulos agreed, plus not wanting to take a base doesn't diminish todays athlete. They are talented.

Got his autograph from when I met him at a jewelry store in Ohio like 23 years ago
"Take 1st base."
*grips the Earth, rips the entire diamond up, spins the field underneath him so that first base is now home plate.
I remember Albert Bell. He was tuff as nails no BS baseball player - period! People use to bitch about how much he made as a player, but I think he underwent two hip surgeries and literally gave his body to the game. He earned every penny he made. I wish there were more players in the game today like Albert Bell!!
He earned everything using a corked bat!?!?
@@TheSpringMood Bruv, don’t hate the player, hate the game!
In the slow replay look at how long Belle stares at the ball before getting hit. Surprised the fastball didnt chicken shit and turn into a slider
LOL I had almost forgotten about this, Albert Belle was such a badass.
Albert Belle was a genius In HS and College and a beast at the plate . Legend
Albert Belle was my favorite player growing up. I lived in Cleveland at the time. Over all the years I’m not sure I could pinpoint why he was my favorite. Now I can, so thank you Jomboy. 😂
Same. We didn't know people could be assholes yet
Even if he was,he was legendary at baseball
I saw him with the Sky Sox when I was a kid, he went by Joey Belle then. Had a bunch of homerun balls from him but the moment I remember most was after a strikeout he went into the dugout bathroom and proceeded to smash the sink with his bat. The acoustics of smashing porcelain in a stadium is something I'll never forget.
Growing up in Cleveland boy it was fun watching Belle play I loved when he ran over the 2and baseman to break up a double play lmfao
I was at this game and it was epic. Still remember it as a 12 year old. Albert Belle hit three home runs that game, Cal hit his 399th home run, and then hit in the game winning run with the bases juiced.
I was there in Cleveland for this man’s greatness as a hitter. There were many games where he was a baseball god. His talent and power and drive will not be seen often. “ALBERT, ALBERT, ALBERT...”
