Críticas
...there can be no doubt that Appel has done yeoman work in the resurrection business, writing a spritely tale based on his own knowledge of baseball history and on painstaking research in the newspapers of the day. He brings Kelly alive again. * The Sporting News * A wild, lusty account of this Hall of Fame batting champion. * Baseball Weekly * Appel's pleasing writing style and penchant for accuracy and detail make this book one of the year's best baseball biographies. * Yankees Magazine * Appel's lively book helps to recover an American icon of the 1880s. * CHOICE * ...the rollicking biography of Mike "King" Kelly, superstar of the 1880s and 1890s who lived fast and died young. The recent rediscovery of 19th-century baseball by today's authors is most welcome. * Times and Post-Intelligencer * Well written, and I was amazed at how much research you had done to uncover all the details of a very interesting life...A very important lesson in the start of our national game...Bravo!, Marty. -- Lee McPhail, Former American League President I don't know of any other book that has gone into such explicit (and fascinating) detail about not just Kelly but day-to-day life in 19th century big league baseball. -- Robert Creamer, Former Editor, Sports Illustrated What strikes me more than anything is the amount of diligent research that went into this project...[Kelly]...come[s] alive, out of the mist and so has the time in which he played and boozed. -- Ray Robinson, author of Iron Hourse: Lou Gehrig in His Time [This book]... has so much energy and spirit... returns to life such a terrific character that it is in a class by itself... I feel greatly honored that I was asked to write the forward. -- Larry Ritter, Author of The Glory of Their Times Appel...wrote the moving biography of Kelly from enormous research sources. The photographs of the 19th century star and the game as it looked a hundred years ago are worth the price of the book...The Kelly book is worth a delightful afternoon. -- Maury Allen
Reseña del editor
Mike "King" Kelly was a hard-living, hard-drinking son of a Civil War veteran whose skills at baseball and infectious charm turned him into the game's first hero, and a symbol of what it meant to be a celebrity in America in the 1880s and 1890s. A Hall of Famer and a two-time batting champion, Kelly's greatest contribution was probably in the popularity he brought to the game, which resulted in the 20th century's first fans, as the game began to mature from the rough and tumble times of Mike and his cohorts.

Softcover. Condición: Good. 1. Mike "King" Kelly was the hard-living, hard-drinking son of a Civil War veteran whose skills at baseball and infectious charm turned him into the game's first hero, and a symbol of what it meant to be a celebrity in America in the 1880s and 1890s. Slide, Kelly, Slide reacquaints baseball fans and scholars with this little-known pioneer of the game. Marty Appel, the author of several baseball books, conducted a thorough search of local archives to bring the story of King Kelly to light and place him in his proper historical context. An innovator on the field, who was not above taking advantage of the only umpire running the game, Kelly touched many aspects of American culture while a ballplayer. He was the first player to sign autographs, and wrote the game's first autobiography. A Hall of Famer and a two-time batting champion, Kelly's greatest contribution was the popularity that he brought to the game. Slide, Kelly, Slide will truly delight.

Paperback. Condición: Fine. Glossy illustrated softcovers. Fine. 211 pp. with statistical appendix, bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs and reproductions. Biography of baseball's first "celebrity superstar", 19th century played Mike "King" Kelly (1857-1894). A native of Troy, New York, Kelly made his major league debut at age 20 with the Cincinnati Reds of the three-season old National League. After the 1879 season, the Chicago White Stockings (ancestors not of today's White Sox but rather of the Cubs), secured him and it was in the Windy City that Kelly's audacious style of play and outsized personality made him a national figure. He won two batting titles with Chicago and, after the 1886 season was sold to Boston for the then-staggering sum of $10,000. While there his popularity grew (he is thought by nany to be the inspiration for The Mighty Casey in "Casey At The Bat"). There were later stops for him in the Players League, American Association, and a final stop with the New York Giants in 1893. King Kelly is thought to be the first ballplayed to sign autographs and the first to write an autobiography. Kelly's boisterous, hard-drinking, high life caught up with him and he died in 1895 at age 35. Nº de ref. del artículo: E29102
