Biography
Al Kelley was a 6-0 (1.83) guard at the University of Kansas, graduating in 1954. After graduation he was drafted in the seventh round by the Milwaukee Hawks but spurned their offers. Instead he played AAU ball until 1960 for the Peoria Caterpillars, the powerhouse in AAU basketball at that time, and helped them win several national championships. Kelley was a long-time employee of the Caterpillar Tractor firm that sponsored those great teams. |
