Thank you to Paula for finding this article:

This has Mark's picture and a little bit about him in it. He looks GREAT!!!

Here are a couple of e-mails I've received:

from Debbie:

Pam,
I have been following your website for a couple of years now. First of all,
thanks for keeping us up to date on Mark. I hadn't checked your site for a
couple of months (before today), but last night my family and I were at a
Carolina Mudcats game and they were playing the Jacksonville Suns. Low and
behold, there was Mark Bellhorn, #29 playing first base! After the game I
got him to sign my ticket and we tried to take a picture with the camera
phone and it didn't come out. They will be back her in June, so we will go
again, and I will try to get a picture for you guys.

Thanks again for keeping the website!

and more from Evan:

Just continues to mystify me how in an ultra-competitive game like
baseball, with entire staffs of people involved in finding some way to
improve ones team, that a guy like this ends up with exactly two chances
(roughly full seasons) to produce, does so both times, and yet *still*
can't buy himself a decent job on someone's roster.

I have moved most of the items from this page to THIS location, since this page was getting quite long! Hopefully I'll be able to fill this one up again :)

It's so nice to have something to report again!

Very nice article HERE

Finally, some news:

First, THIS article (thank you Mandi!)

Then today, from Linda (thank you!):
Mark is with the Jacksonville Suns (Dodgers). He is officially on the roster now.

And thank you also to Evan, who wrote:

It seems he's signed on with the Dodgers on a minor league contract, and
is scheduled to report to AA Jacksonville. I'm not sure what the
organizations plans are for him (to my knowledge he isn't being signed
for an eventual callup), the signing was completely under-the-radar (not
even reported in the usual locations that post Dodger-related news).

GOOD LUCK MARK!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven't heard from Kelly in awhile, but I found THIS while looking up info on Mark

According to FoxSports.com, Mark is now a free agent after refusing a minor league assignment.

and from ESPN:

Reds - October 11: Announced infielder Mark Bellhorn, outfielder Jason Ellison and pitcher Kirk Saarloos have elected free agency.

Mark ended the season quietly with the Reds

I will of course keep this site going for as long as Mark is playing baseball anywhere!

Keep in touch, and we will all wait for further news together

almost 4 years ago

Aug 29 2004 Red Sox 5, Tigers 1

Martinez allowed a run in seven innings and Mark Bellhorn doubled, scored one run and drove in two as the Red Sox remained red hot with a 5-1 triumph over the Tigers.

Bellhorn contributed to both of Boston's rallies, delivering an RBI groundout in the fifth and a run-scoring double in the seventh. He is 10-for-30 with five RBI in eight games since being activated from the disabled list on August 21.

Nice memories!

From Cory...

I just wanted to send you a picture of a drawing that I did of Mark a few years back that he autographed for me. I think your website of him is really cool. It keeps me up to date with my favorite player! I sure do miss him in Boston...

Thank you Cory! It's wonderful!!
