About biographical information
Orion K. Bell sponsor(s) this page.
When I was 10 years old, Preston was my hero. He talked to me a few times when I got a seat close to 1st base. I named my youngest son Preston Ward Bell after this man. He was more than a baseball player.

Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between those two games.
Default Setting for this feature:
Turn On /
Turn Off
Summation of game totals only works for the moment when the table
is in date of game order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit
goofy
