Albert Belle

[ChiSox9]

I found this on ESPN and I was wondering if this was valid:

 

Albert Belle was the first player in baseball history to make more than $10 million in a single season for his "services" thanks to the generosity of the Chicago White Sox. But he wouldn't sign on the dotted line until the White Sox agreed to two special requests. One, a giant container of Halloween candy was to be delivered to his front porch every afternoon, where it was to be lit with a spotlight so children all across the neighborhood could see it. And two, Belle wanted a high-powered BB gun with a scope.

i would imagine that it would be false.... it's a play on the time on Halloween some kids egged his house and he tried to run them down in his car

That was clearly from a satirical article on ESPN Page 2.

I believe he was the first SOX player at that level

[Baines3]

I doubt very much that was true

[WilliamTell]

I'm gonna go with false aswell.

It was a remington model and also he asked for king size snickers bars in the bucket
