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:
| 1995 | St. Louis Cardinals | $109,000 |
| 1996 | St. Louis Cardinals | $125,000 |
| 1997 | St. Louis Cardinals | $170,000 |
| 1998 | St. Louis Cardinals | $200,000 |
| 1999 | Seattle Mariners | $700,000 |
| 2000 | Seattle Mariners | $1,425,000 |
| 2001 | Seattle Mariners | $2,200,000 |
| 2002 | San Francisco Giants | $1,750,000 |
| 2003 | Philadelphia Phillies | $3,200,000 |
| 2004 | Philadelphia Phillies | $4,400,000 |
| 2005 | Philadelphia 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.
