Every time I see a Joe Kelley card I think it's Bill Murray in a previous life. Whilst perusing the New York Times archives I saw mention that Kelley represented Toronto in some type of executive capacity in discussions with MLB in forming an association of teams to counter the upstart Federal league in 1914. That was the only reference I could find. Kelley finished his playing career with Toronto in 1910 and it's a long stretch as to why he would be on a 1914 Coupon in his T206 Toronto duds. Another Joe Kelley played for Pittsburgh in the latter part of the 1910's and may be the guy on the 1919 card although I haven't seen the card and don't know what it looks like.
