According to Robert W. Peterson's history of the Negro Leagues, "Only The Ball Was White," Bell acquired his nickname at the age of 19 when he coolly struck out another Negro League legend, Oscar Charleston, in a tough situation." The [St. Louis] Stars began calling him Cool," Peterson writes. "Manager Bill Gatewood, deciding that the nickname sounded incomplete, added the 'Papa.'" Often considered one of the fastest men ever to play baseball, he was, according to Peterson, still among the Negro League leaders in stolen bases at the age of 40.
