George Bell turns 64 today. George Bell was born in San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. His brother Juan Bell also made the majors as a utility infielder for several teams for seven seasons. He has two other brothers who played professional baseball. The Phillies signed George as an amateur free agent in 1978. The Jays picked him up in the 1980 Rule 5 draft, one of the best Rule 5 pickups ever.
They released him in 1993 after Bell made nasty remarks about Sox manager Gene Lamont when Lamont replaced him in the playoff lineup with Bo Jackson. Bell had an excellent 12-year career, finishing with 265 homers, 1002 RBI, .278 BA. He was a free swinger, didn’t walk much, and his defence was terrible. His arm was underrated. He had more outfield assists from 1984-1987 than any player other than Barfield and Glenn Wilson.
