The Cincinnati Reds sent Brantley Bell and seven other prospects to the Arizona Fall League. Bell has one major difference. His father, Jay, was the team manager of the Scottsdale Scorpions.
Jay Bell played for five teams during his MLB career. In his first three stops with the Cleveland Indians, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Kansas City Royals, Jay was known as a glove first shortstop. With the Arizona Diamondbacks Jay became a home run hitting second baseman.
Despite the respect of his peers and his record of playing on winning ball clubs, Jay only made the All-Star team twice, once as a Pirate and once as a Diamondback.
