Today in Baseball: On May 11, 1991, a heckler calls Albert Belle “Joey“, a name he dislikes, and makes references to his problems with alcohol. Belle responded to the heckler by picking up a foul ball and nailing the offensive offender in the chest from 15 feet away. Although the fans clearly supported his action, the Indians outfielder is fined and suspended for one week.

Question of the Day: How will Matt Harvey do in his first start with the Reds?
