He reported to spring training and was assigned to the team's minor league system on March 31, 1994.

Regular Season

On July 15, 1994, Albert Belle's bat was confiscated by umpire Dave Phillips. [http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/cheaters/ballplayers.html] It was the result of White Sox manager Gene Lamont believing that the bat was corked. During the game, Indians pitcher Jason Grimsley removed a ceiling tile in his manager’s office and clambered on top of an eighteen inch wide cinder block. [http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/excerpts/spitters6.stm] He replaced the corked bat with a conventional bat but the bat had Paul Sorrento's name on it. Belle was suspended for seven games. [http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/cheaters/ballplayers.html]
