Mark Bellhorn was born on Friday, August 23, 1974, in Boston, Massachusetts. Bellhorn was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on June 10, 1997, with the Oakland Athletics. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Mark Bellhorn baseball stats page.
"This whole season, I was Mark Bellhorn's biggest believer. Yeah, he strikes out a lot, but when I get on base and when he got on base after me, our offense really took off. This is pretty much his first big year being in that spotlight. Being in Boston, everything gets magnified. As teammates of his, we're very happy with the way he approaches the game, the way he works and just the kind of person he is." - Teammate Johnny Damon in USA Today (Jeff Zillgitt, Head-scratching stats aside, Bellhorn delivers, 10/25/2004)
