Jon Bell was on his way to the New England Revolution’s training facility last Friday when he got a surprise call. He doesn’t usually pick up calls from unknown numbers, but this one came from St. Louis, MO on the eve of the Expansion Draft.
Bell explained that “it didn’t even cross my mind as I would come up as a thought to get picked” but sure enough, the St. Louis representative said that he was going to be one of the club’s five selections.
“Honestly, last Friday when I heard the news, at first I was kind of sad because I was leaving Boston,” Bell told The Bent Musket.
