I have 18 cards of Ron Belliard. This one is from 2001 Topps.
Playing career: Ron Belliard was a consistent but
unspectacular second baseman for six teams over thirteen seasons, putting up
seven seasons of 100+ OPS, though only once reaching higher than 107. He was an
American League All Star with the Indians in 2004 and won a World Series ring
with the Cardinals in 2006.
My memories: As a Cardinal fan (my NL team) I remembered him
fondly from the 2006 team. In 2011 he actually was with the Yankees for spring
training but did not make the team and later retired.
Interesting facts: In 2006, the married Belliard had a
one-night-stand with a girl he met at a nightclub. The girl’s father later
tried to extort money from Belliard, claiming that the girl was pregnant. The
man, George Edwards, was sentenced to a year in prison.
His cousin is former major leaguer Rafael Belliard.
Where he is now: Anyone know where Ron Belliard is now?
Google Autocomplete results: He is sixth when you type Ron
Bel, between Ron Bello, President of NAV Enterprises, and Ron Belldegrun, a
UPenn alumnus. Another prominent Ron Belliard is a Technical Support Manager at
Crane.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Clay Bellinger.
