1970 57 Pat Kelly

By

Pat Kelly


1970 would be Pat Kelly's final season with the Royals.  He was traded to the White Sox almost immediately after the season ended.

The air-brush job on the hat is not as bad as many others from Topps in the early 1970's. 

Kelly played with the Denver Bears in their final two years in the PCL before they moved to the American Association for the 1969 season.  During Kelly's time in Denver, the Bears were affiliated with the Twins. In 1968, Kelly and the Bears were managed by Billy Martin.  (Kelly received no mention in Pennington's biography of Billy Martin.)    

Kelly was a born again Christian who became a minister after he retired from baseball.
