Indians pitcher Jason Grimsley crawled into the umpire's office at Comiskey Park-where the bat was being held for safekeeping-while the game was in progress and attempted to switch the bat out, using a bat from the collection of first baseman Paul Sorrento.

The umpire was unable to find anything wrong at the time, but under MLB rules was able to confiscate the bat and have it sent to the MLB office in New York for further testing. He approached the home plate umpire and asked him to check Belle's bat. Sox manager Gene Lamont got a tip that something might be amiss with Belle's bat. On July 15, 1994, Belle and the Cleveland Indians were at Comiskey Park to face the Chicago White Sox.
