Ha to share from John Thorn who posted this on his FB page.

Ever wonder how King Kelly came upon the nickname "the $10,000 beauty"? Of course the dollar amount represents the sale price for the transfer of his contract from Chicago to Boston. But the beauty part comes from actress Louise Montague, who in 1881 had been so dubbed after winning a $10,000 contest for handsomest woman in the world.
