Hey! Guess who just bought and sold you -- yeah, that's right, David Bell. He's a World Series hero, you know.

How did he manage to buy you? Well, he isn't poor, and you have the Seattle Mariners to thank for that:
1995St. Louis Cardinals$109,000
1996St. Louis Cardinals$125,000
1997St. Louis Cardinals$170,000
1998St. Louis Cardinals$200,000
1999Seattle Mariners$700,000
2000Seattle Mariners$1,425,000
2001Seattle Mariners$2,200,000
2002San Francisco Giants$1,750,000
2003Philadelphia Phillies$3,200,000
2004Philadelphia Phillies$4,400,000
2005Philadelphia Phillies$4,700,000
Career (may be incomplete)$18,979,000

A lot of people will probably be wondering, "Why David Bell? What a dumb name for a Cardinals blog!" Well, for starters, he's capable of making a grown man cry -- and that counts in my book:


Oh, and it's always fun to see a game at Citizens Bank Park when Bell is playing. They love him there*.

Plus, lest I forget, Baseball-Reference compares the pop in Bell's twig to that of Cardinals powerhouse Todd Zeile.

So, there you have it. Another Cardinals blog, but named after one of the all-time great Cardinals**.

* And by "love," I mean "fucking despise."
** It was either DBWSH or Ankiels in the Outfield. DBWSH won in a rock, paper, scissors contest with myself -- I caught my left hand cheating.
