[edit] Biography

King Kelly (Michael Joseph Kelly) was born on December 31, 1857 in Troy, New York. He made his Major League debut on May 1, 1878 for the Cincinnati Reds. In 1878, his rookie year, he hit .283 with 0 home runs and 27 RBI. Kelly played for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Stockings, Boston Beaneaters, Boston Reds, Cincinnati Porkers and New York Giants over the course of his 16 year career.

There is some disagreement on what was King Kelly's most productive season. Some believe that it was 1886, when he stole 53 bases, hit for a .388 average and knocked in 79 runs. However, others believe that it was 1887, when he stole 84 bases, hit for a .322 average and knocked in 63 runs.
