#OnThisDay in @chicagocubs history ▸ For a then record price of $10,000, the White Stockings, sell current the National League batting champ and future Hall of Famer Mike “King” Kelly to the Boston Beaneaters (known today as the @atlantabraves).
Kelly, a popular box office draw, earns his nickname King while playing in Boston. The transaction works out well for Boston as Kelly continues to be productive, hitting .311 for three years during his first tenure with the team.
Welcome Home Sean
Just wanna say a huge congrats to Kelly Slater on his win today and also his AI Award! The king has finally made his comeback! I’ve been waiting so long (2 and a half years to be exact) for him to take another win and I’m so happy it went down the way it did today! Is this the start of world title number 12? Who knows? #LongLiveKingKelly
