ELECTED: NOVEMBER 2004 INDUCTED: NOVEMBER 2005

JACKSONVILLE, FL ORLANDO, FL

WOODY BELL WAS INDUCTED INTO THE USSSA HALL OF FAME IN THE SPECIAL CATEGORY.

WHEN YOU THINK OF WOODY BELL, YOU IMMEDIATELY THINK OF THE GREAT BELL CORP TEAMS OF THE PAST TWO AND A HALF DECADES.

WINNING THE MEN’S MAJOR WORLD SERIES IN DAYTONA BEACH, FL IN 1993 WAS ESPECIALLY SWEET, WITH PLAY BEGINNING THAT MORNING AT 8:30AM AND FINISHING FIVE GAMES LATER AT 8:15 PM AS THE NEW WORLD SERIES CHAMPION.

WOODY HAS SAID THAT SOFTBALL IS THE GREATEST SPORT IN AMERICA TODAY. HE MOST ENJOYS SEEING TWO EVENENLY MATCHED TEAMS PLAYING, WHERE DEFENSE NOT OFFENSE BECOMES THE DECIDING FACTOR IN THE GAME.

HE HAS ALWAYS INSISTED THAT HIS TEAM MEMBERS WERE GENTLEMEN ON THE FIELD- NO BAD LANGUAGE, NO ARGUING WITH UMPIRES, NEVER IGNORING THE OLD FANS OR THE YOUNG ONES. HIS DEDICATION TO THE SPORT HAS LED HIM TO SPONSOR AS MANY AS FOUR TEAMS IN A SEASON AND TO TRAVEL TO 142 CONSECUTIVE TOURNAMENTS.
