Albert Belle's Corked bat

This by far was not Belle’s first unethical dilemma. Before starting his career for the Indians, he was known as “Joey”, and played for Louisiana’s LSU. Having set several school records, he was expected to do well for the play-offs. However, because of bad behavior, he ended up with a post-season suspension and missed the College World Series

. . .
Everyone is supposed to play by the rules. Bats could be provided for them by a neutral source.

Perhaps the greatest amount of wrongdoing on Belle’s part was done in regards to the professional ethic theory.

The beginning of Belle’s problems started when a fan taunted Albert about his drinking problem. How many people play in major league baseball? All of the other players manage to play the game without cork in their bats. (Name changed from Joey to Albert after completing alcohol rehab. One would think that a team would avoid a player of questionable ethics while a player would avoid a team that accused him of questionable ethics. ) Belle responded to the fan by drilling a baseball into that fan’s chest, sending him to the hospital.

This behavioral problem scared the Atlanta Braves General Manager Bobby Cox, and he is quoted saying “If you pick Belle in any round, you’re fired!” to his staff. These people in similar situations do not result in similar actions to those of Albert Belle. On October 31, 1995, he chased down kids in his jeep after they had egged his condo. In class we talked about various theories of ethics. Belle was the one at fault so he should have faced the consequences. Why then on this particular occasion did they opt to question his bat of all things? As mentioned earlier, Belle throughout his career, played for several teams.
