BALTIMORE (AP) -- Albert Belle posted a new sign next to his locker Tuesday, right under the one requesting that reporters refer all questions to his Web site.

The new sign asked for signatures from players wishing to boycott the Orioles' Aug. 28 exhibition game at Class AAA Rochester.

The sign had one name: Belle's. And the sign was gone before the end of batting practice, shortly after Orioles vice chairman Joe Foss ventured into the clubhouse.
