Albert Belle..HOF?

I think he should definatly make it...I'll use Kirby Puckett as an example..They both played 12 years in the league.Puckett has Belle in hits but Belle has a higher OPS(933) than Puckett(837).He also beats Puckett with more HR(381) and RBI(1239) as opposed to Kirby's 207 and 1085...Puckett did win 5 gold gloves and had Belle on Defense...

But no one talks about belle being a future Hall of Famer...Cause IMO if you put Puckett in,you will have a hard time leaving Belle out as well.

Thoughts?

Albert Belle is a crackass...I dunno what that means but one of my friends called him that and it stuck.

Belle has a chance of being put in the hall. But I think it would be a very slim chance. Remember after that corked bat incident? He just feel apart.

Re: Albert Belle

The only way Albert Belle get's in to the Hall of Fame is if he buys a ticket,
the HR (381) and the RBI (1239) are not as impresive today as they were some years ago, thanks to a higher offensive standard,
Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Thomas have more HRS and RBI then
Belle and its already being debated whether or not those two belong in the hall,
and about Kirby, while his offensive numbers were'nt all that great he did win the 6 gold gloves ('86-'91) but also 2 world championships, and was a general good guy to the game and to the fans, Belle was not, (i seem to recall an incident on halloween a few years back where he chased some kids in his SUV),
while both players careers were cut short due to injury and illness, Puckett gracefully walked away from the game,
while Belle has been bleeding the Orioles for the last 3 years.

Championships and kindness should not be a factor in weather or not you make the HOF.
