Kyle Dell selected "Inning Six
(1940-1950)" of Baseball for
many reasons, the most
important being Jackie

Dell also believes 1941 was

"Baseball is a history of our
selves, it provides a narra
tive," said Dell. Dell wasn't a
baseball fan until about 10
years ago when he and his
wife moved to Boston and he
fell in love with Fenway Park
and the Red Sox.
"There were many nights I
