Lol no he changed it because he went through alcohol rehab in what was supposed to be his first Major year and felt Albert was a more "mature" name.
To show where maybe he had some head problems, early in life his mother claimed that the Indians brainwashed him into thinking he had a drinking problem. But there were stories here in Cleveland and to basically summarize them, if he hadn't gotten the help, he would have never made the majors for any team.
Albert through all his head problems does have my respect in that he sought help and overcame his addiction. Sad story his, he was a hard working player who just couldn't get away from the press, he truly wasn't a bad guy. Don't know about what he's like now tho.
