My Take
Derek Bell had the kind of Major League career that gets overshadowed by flashier names, but I think he deserves a second look. A Tampa kid who broke in with Toronto and rode the 1992 Blue Jays to a World Series ring before settling in as a steady outfielder across San Diego, Houston, the Mets and Pittsburgh. Ten seasons from 1991 to 2001 is no small thing. He was part of Houston's Killer B's era, and that championship pedigree early in his career is exactly the kind of detail I respect. A solid professional who showed up and produced for a decade.
