Back in Kelly's era, there were no real rules regarding substitutions or how they were made. One day, while Kelly was on the bench, an opposing batter hit a pop fly near the dugout. He jumped up, ran onto the field, said "Kelly now catching for Boston!" and caught the ball. Given the loophole in the rules, the ump had no choice but to declare the batter out and Kelly in the game.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508921644099472101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084101267740946056.post-58632895470447437512019-02-07T20:11:44.891-06:002019-02-07T20:11:44.891-06:00Those Panini sets are pretty good for including HO...Those Panini sets are pretty good for including HOF players that go un-celebrated.

Judge and Stanton have had series with comparable numbers. <br /><br />Fred Clarke needs more recognition as being a great in the early years too.Collecting Cutchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18066493614914957891noreply@blogger.com
