Hornell high school’s baseball team was leading by one run during the Section V Class B1 championship game against Palmyra-Macedon high school. With Palmyra-Macedon down to its final strike, Hornell’s pitcher managed to strike out the opposing hitter for the final out of the game.

Five years later, Bell admitted that he didn’t want to leave Pittsburgh and explained what soured his relationship with the team that drafted him.
“Yeah, it was a little petty, the little guarantee stuff,” Bell said on the Steel Here podcast.
