Thanks for this. In all the times I've looked at the Macmillan Baseball Encyclopedia and now www.baseball-reference.com, I never noticed Kelly played 2B for significant games.

Hey you Trivia guys, you're slipping tonite.

I thought one of you would get this one. Anyhow, there are more such HOF "trio connections" out there.

I thought Ott took over right field from Ross Youngs.
