Long before the term “small ball” became popular, manager Ned Hanlon was among the first to recognize that a team could generate just as many runs with its legs as it could with its bats.
Hanlon began as a fine outfielder in 13 professional seasons in Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Though he was a career .260 hitter, Hanlon stole 329 bases – all of them coming after stolen bases were first recorded in 1886, six years into his career.

“Joe had no prominent weakness. He was fast on the bases, could hit the ball hard and was as graceful an outfielder as one would care to see.” –John McGraw
Aside from topping the National League with 87 stolen bases in 1896, Joe Kelley rarely led the league in any categories. But he was a well-rounded outfielder who could run, hit for average and get on base and annually ranked among the league leaders in various power-hitting categories as well.
