Timeline
Jay Stuart Bell (born December 11, 1965) is an American former Major League Baseball shortstop and former manager of the Rocket City Trash Pandas of the Southern League.
It was also the first Gold Glove by a Pirate shortstop since Gene Alley's back-to-back honors in 1966 and 1967.
Though mostly a singles and doubles hitter at first, Bell was also an expert at bunting.
A first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 1984, Bell made 129 errors over his first three minor-league seasons.
The following year he was traded to the Cleveland Indians in a deal that brought starter Bert Blyleven to the Twins.
He played for the Cleveland Indians (1986–1988), Pittsburgh Pirates (1989–1996), Kansas City Royals (1997), Arizona Diamondbacks (1998–2002) and New York Mets (2003).
When he finally reached the majors in 1986, he faced Blyleven in his first major-league at-bat.
During this moment, Bell ripped the first pitch he saw from Blyleven for a home run.
Bell maintained his reputation as one of the best shortstops in the 1990s.
His range was only average but he had a great knowledge of the hitters and positioned himself well.
He won a Gold Glove Award in 1993, breaking a string of thirteen straight National League Gold Gloves at shortstop by Ozzie Smith.
Bell did show early signs of his power potential hitting 21 home runs in 1997 and 20 in 1998.
A trial switch to second base at end of the '98 season became a permanent move the next spring.
Bell belted 36 of his 38 homers from his new position, a total exceeded only by Rogers Hornsby, Davey Johnson and Ryne Sandberg among second basemen.
One of those round-trippers was a sixth-inning grand slam off the Oakland Athletics pitcher Jimmy Haynes on the final game before the All-Star break, which won $1 million for an Arizona fan, Gylene Hoyle, who had correctly predicted the batter and the inning for a bases-loaded blast.
Bell won the World Series with the Diamondbacks in 2001, serving as the winning run in Game 7 when he reached base on a ninth-inning bunt before Luis Gonzalez singled to deliver a walk-off series victory over the New York Yankees.
In his career, Bell batted .265, with 195 home runs, 868 runs batted in, 1,123 runs scored, 1,964 hits, 394 doubles, 67 triples and 91 stolen bases.
As a player, Bell was well known for wearing eyeglasses on the field.
After the 2006 season, Bell retired as bench coach of the Arizona Diamondbacks in order to spend more time with his family, who are located in Phoenix, Arizona and Tampa, Florida.
He currently has a ballfield named after him in Phoenix, called Jay Bell Field.
He became eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.
75% of the vote was necessary for induction, and 5% was necessary to stay on the ballot.
He received 0.4% of the vote and dropped off the ballot.
Bell serves as a member of the advisory board of the Baseball Assistance Team, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping former Major League, Minor League, and Negro league players through financial and medical difficulties.
