He had a name that had a certain ring to it.

George Bell. Remember that guy?
Jorge Antonio Bell Mathey was born Oct. 21, 1959, in San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic, a hotbed of major league talent that produced Alfonso Soriano, Pedro Guerrero, Tony Fernández, Robinson Canó, Joaquín Andújar and Sammy Sosa, among many others, including current White Sox hurler Reynaldo López. Jorge, who was better known as George, had two brothers who played pro baseball: Juan, who played in the majors from 1989 to 1995, suiting up for the Orioles, Phillies, Brewers, Expos and Red Sox, and Rolando, who played in the Dodgers organization in 1986 and 1987.
