Michael Joseph Kelly - Places, People, "The King", Film and television, Music

Baseball player, born in Troy, New York, USA. One of baseball's first superstars, he combined power and speed during his 16 year career as an outfielder and catcher (1878–93), mostly with the Chicago White Stockings and Boston Red Stockings. The once-popular song, ‘Slide, Kelly, Slide!’ (1889) was inspired by the fans' chanting that accompanied his frequent stolen bases. Handsome and flamboyant, he was known as baseball's ‘king of the diamond’, and was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1945.
