英语词汇slide的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

slide; Kelly, slide. As Dizzy Dean would have put it, when Kelly “slud,” he “slud” hard. Michael Joseph “King” Kelly, who played ball for Chicago and Boston, was a talented hustling player called “the Ten Thousand Dollar Beauty” because he signed for that sum one year, an incredible amount of money for a ballplayer at the time. In 1889 a song was written about Kelly by his friend monologuist John W. Kelly exhorting him to slide, Kelly, slide, an expression which has become proverbial. Kelly innovated a number of techniques besides the “hook” or “fadeaway” slide. As a catcher he invented the dirty trick of throwing his mask up the first-base line in order to trip a batter trying to beat out a hit. Kelly played to win. As Boston’s manag- er, he looked up from the bench one day to see a foul ball drifting toward him. At the time, baseball rules specified that substitu- tions could be made at any point in the game, and seeing that the Boston catcher could not possibly reach the foul, Kelly jumped up off the bench, shouted “Kelly now catching for Bos- ton,” and caught the ball for an out. His maneuver led to the rule now on the books that substitutions can only be made when the ball isn’t in play.
