He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of eight seasons (1924, 1926-1927, 1929-1930, 1932-1934) with the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants. For his career, he compiled a 32-34 record in 221 appearances, most as a relief pitcher, with an 3.69 earned run average and 191 strikeouts. Bell was a member of three National League pennant winners (1926, 1930 & 1933), winning two World Series with the 1926 Cardinals and the 1933 Giants.
