"a 2004 book devoted to 19th-century rule bending in baseball—and which came close to exhaustively accounting for all contemporary reporting on various subjects" this seems like a little bit of puffery for one specific book, which is out of place in an encylopedia article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.89.36.169 ( talk) 18:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
"At the start of his career, baseball rules stated that players may be substituted at any time. During one game with the White Stockings, Kelly was sitting on the bench during an opposing side's time at bat. When the batter hit a high pop foul ball toward the Chicago dugout, Kelly ran out, yelled "Kelly now catching!" and caught the ball. The batter was indeed out, and the rules were changed shortly after to limit substitutions to times when the ball is dead."

I reverted move to reflect WP:NC-BASE, player is known as King Kelly, and all reputable sources all him as King Kelly. No different than Babe Ruth, Whitey Ford, Cy Young, etc. Neonblak talk - 08:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
