Re: Buddy Bell resigns Quote:
"I had to make a choice between managing and my family, and to me that's a no-brainer," said Bell, who spoke to Moore earlier in the season about leaving the team.
"There are some things I want to do in my life right now, and that's spending time with my family and with my daughter, in particular," Bell said. His daughter Traci was born with Down syndrome, and Bell said he wants to spend more time with his growing number of grandchildren.
Bell said health concerns also played a part in his decision. Last September, he had surgery to remove a cancerous growth in his throat. | It's obviously not baseball related. I had no idea that he had a daughter with Down syndrome and that he had cancer. |
