His real name was George Kelly, and he was a member of the legendary 1930 Cubs team that blew the pennant in the last few days of the season. Tall for his time (6'4"), Kelly was nicknamed Highpockets and Long George by the press; but to his teammates he was Kell, a reserved and even-tempered Derrek Lee-type, and one of the best fielding first basemen of all time. He is a Hall of Famer, although not because of his years with the Cubs. Like many of the Hall of Famers that wore a Cubs uniform, he only wore it after he was washed up.
