Default Not the King

Mike (King) Kelly the HOFer died in 1894. This was Michael J. Kelley, a one-year major leaguer who wound up running the Minneapolis Millers in the 20s-30s and appears on some cards as such.
Actually, this wasn't a trade by modern standards. It was roster maneuvering as part of the consolidation of the Louisville and Pittsburg franchises for the 1900 season.
