and the topps back:

bell wound up spending just one season with the cubs, as he was traded during spring training in 1992 to the white sox for sammy sosa.  still, his lone year on the north side was fairly memorable.  he hit 25 home runs (the most since his mvp campaign) and made the all-star team.  in the midsummer classic (played at toronto's skydome), bell appeared as a pinch hitter in the 9th inning and struck out against dennis eckersley.
