Buddy Bell's Bad News Bears

KansasCity.com posted an article last Saturday on Buddy Bell's 30+ years and record 3,555 games combined as a player and manager without a postseason appearance. (He has only made the postseason once, as a coach with Cleveland in 1995). Though the article hints that this might be a fact somewhat incumbent upon what Bell brings to the field, I am providing this link because it's an interesting and unfortunate position that someone has to hold, and it's too bad that it has to be a guy like Bell. Who knows, maybe his contract will get re-upped and the KC management will try and send the Royals down the same path as the Tigers (100+ losses to a World Series berth within three years). Or maybe when Ozzie Guillen's talentless ass gets booted out of Chicago after this season, Bell can get an opportunity to right that sinking ship.
