He was also on the 2002 Angels team, which won the 2002 World Series, but did not receive a championship ring as he only appeared in 2 regular season games.

[1] In the ninth inning of Game 2 of the 2000 World Series, Bellinger was inserted in left field in place of David Justice.

Bellinger reached up with his arm fully extended to rob the Mets' Todd Zeile of a two-run home run and preserve a victory for the Yankees.

In order to field a competitive team in the Olympics, Angelos made the decision to use experienced American players with mostly distant Greek ancestry (players' ancestry eligibility was allowed to date as far back as great-grandparents), as opposed to native Greeks due to their inexperience in a country where baseball was almost never played.

[3][4] Bellinger and his wife Jennifer have a daughter and two sons: Ashli, Cody, who plays for the New York Yankees,[5] and Cole, who was drafted by the San Diego Padres in 2017.
