One other one- I was at an Orioles game when Albert Belle hit 3 homers in a game. When he came up the next at bat the pitcher from the Angels hit him with a pitch. He stood there at the plate sort of yelling and pointing his bat at the plate. Ray Miller (the Orioles manager) came out and talked to him, the ump was talking to him, but Belle was just yelling at everyone. Finally he took the base. Come to find out, he tried to refuse the base. He was yelling that he wanted the count to be 1-0, and he would just stay there and bat. I'd never seen that before, I thought that was kind of cool.
And Cal Ripken had the game winning hit that day too.
