You can't shit on the baseball writers for your whole career and expect them to show you love later.
Belle took boorish behavior to a whole new level. And he paid for it. Cost him an MVP, he was three times the player Mo was in 1995. He deserved that. HOF, yeah probably. Not like he hit 800 HR's. 1700 hits 381 HR's, .295 avg. The .295 is nice but his career ended abruptly, he didn't have the downward spiral. Good number but there are plenty of players with better who are on the outside. Indian Bob Johnson for one. You can't put up very good numbers, be a peckerhead and expect good things to happen. Joey Belle made his bed.
