On May 3, 1995, rookie infielder David Bell makes his debut for the Cleveland Indians, representing the third generation of his family to play in the major leagues. David’s father, Buddy, and his grandfather, Gus, previously starred in the big leagues. The Bells become the second three-generation family in major league history, joining the Boone’s (Ray, Bob, Bret and Aaron).

The Cleveland Indians will win the game 14 – 7 over Detroit. Gus Bell will die four days later.
