It's plays like this that have Belle of the HOF ballot completely now. Look at his numbers. He was low-key one of the top ten most exciting players of the 90s. In the most prolific offensive era in baseball history he led the league in RBIs three times and finished top 10 in the MVP five times. In 12 seasons his 162 game average was .295 with 40 HR and 130 RBI. His 1995 season is one of best offensive seasons in baseball history - .317, 50 HR, 52 doubles and 126 RBI.
