Hi, he's Heath Bell..

Relief pitcher for the San Diego Padres, Heath Bell, claims that his kid's Wii Fit motivated him to get in shape. When playing the game with his kids it told him he was obeses.

"It said I was obese," Bell said. "If you're obese, it makes (your character on screen) obese. I was disappointed that I was that big. I literally took the game to heart. I did the work but I kind of credit the Wii Fit."

After being traded to the Padres from the Yankees, Bell reported to camp of '07 at 250 lbs. Last season he ballooned up to 270 lbs. It is said he has reported to camp this year at a lean 245 lbs.

"It makes me feel good to hear the coaches say, 'Don't lose any more weight' because they don't want me to lose velocity," Bell said. "I look stronger."
