When you talk about locker room betting, we bet on everything... It's no different than anyone else's office pool. Money changes hands in the locker room it's whatever you want.

More quotes by Albert Belle
Going to a new team is like going to a new high school. Nobody knows you. It's a chance to rebuild your image.
Albert Belle
I look back over my career and I almost pissed it away. I got a second chance and I've made the most of my opportunity. I play every game like it's the last game of my career.
Albert Belle
Moral values have been thrown out the window. Christianity is out the window. And that's wrong. Parents should be at home, teaching kids right from wrong, making sure they get a great education so they can be a success in life.
Albert Belle
I have high expectations for myself. I'm not out there playing the game just to be playing it. I want to win a championship.
Albert Belle
People want me to do things, be a certain way and that's not going to happen. I'm going to be Albert Belle.
Albert Belle
I mean, people think I'm too intense for baseball. I've always excelled to be the best, no matter what, but it's like people think something is wrong with that.
Albert Belle
I've been treated there (Camden Yards in Baltimore) just like everywhere else: you got everyone booing for you. I take that as a compliment.
Albert Belle
Back in 1987 when they drafted me. The Indians were the only team interested in taking a chance on Albert Belle, and I made the most of it. Hopefully, they got as much from me as I got from them.
Albert Belle
People tried to test me (in 1999) and I came up with some pretty good throws. Everybody on the team calls me 'Bazooka' now. That's kind of like a nickname I gave myself.
Albert Belle
While in the clinic, I discovered I had problems with concentration, motivation, attitude, and temper. I have found a new way of life through the clinic's program and a 12-step recovery plan.
Albert Belle
The way I figure is we win as a team and we lose as a team, but I've got to figure out some way where I can have a better April and help the team get off to a better start. I normally heat up when it gets warm, but it would be nice to come out of April and everybody is chasing you.
Albert Belle
I think a lot of people are aware of the things I do, but maybe because of who I am, they don't want to report the good things about Albert Belle.
Albert Belle
Some people are saying it's a slap in the face for me to go to a competitor, but it also was a slap in my face that they would go out and trade for Matt Williams, especially when my situation was unsure.
Albert Belle
People don't need to know what Albert Belle is thinking. I've learned from my mistakes in the past, and that's what's made me a better person.
Albert Belle
It's going to be tough (winning the MVP Award). I'm not really considered a media darling.
Albert Belle
I feel like myself and the city of Cleveland are in the same boat. We're made for each other. A few years ago, everybody had bad thoughts on Albert Belle. I feel that has changed.
Albert Belle
I know the Chicago media will write a lot of bad things, but they'll write a lot of good things too. I can live with that. In Cleveland, all I got was negative press.
Albert Belle
I feel education is more important even now for the younger generation than when I was younger. The kids really need to buckle down and get a good education. That's why it's so important to have computer programs and good tutoring programs, so they can have fun in school. It also keeps them out of trouble.
Albert Belle
We need to start acting like a team, focus on winning and not worry about all of the other stuff that goes on. We lost our focus last year. We worried about who was being hired, who was being fired. That's got to change. We don't need any more finger pointing. We need to act like a team.
Albert Belle
In baseball, I don't fraternize with players when it's time to hit. I'm preparing for the game. It's the most important time of the day. And I know if I don't hit, I won't have a job in the big leagues. That's why I tend to get very upset when people try to talk to me.
