Ever wonder how King Kelly got his nickname "the $10,000 beauty"? Yes, the $$$ represents the price for transfer of his contract from Chicago to Boston. But the beauty part comes from actress Louise Montague, who in 1881 had won a $10,000 contest for world's handsomest woman. pic.twitter.com/LtP1vGGYdP
