This Blog is for David at Indians Baseball Cards Always
Since I now know that David is one looker who is reading my bloggs, I decided to write about one of his Indians. I have chosen Buddy Bell. I have always been a big fan of Buddy Bell. You know when you buy baseball cards there seems to be one player that you always pull out of a pack mine is Buddy Bell. Another reason I like Buddy bell is that I like to argue. Growing up in Missouri everybody around me seemed to love George Brett. So, I would always say Buddy bell is just as good of third baseman as George Brett! My female cousins would always say, "But George Brett is so good looking!" I would reply, yeah but if I wanted to look like man that would attract women I would want to look like Buddy Bell.
Later after he left the Indians and went to the Rangers, he did give George Brett a run for his money as the best third baseman. I was really happy when the Royals hired him as their manager a few years back even-though he is no longer their manager. Buddy is one of those managers that never wins a lot of games, but after he leaves you realize he built a good club!

You picked a good one! I have been a Buddy Bell fan for as long as I can remember. In fact, the card you show is the first Bell card I owned - 1975 Topps! Love the player history you add, too!
Buddy Bell is a great baseball man! He's in the White Sox minor league organization currently.
Thought I'd stop by and let ya know that your "12 Days Gift Pack" gets shipped out on Friday!!
