[2] Despite a good record with the eighth place Orioles, he was not re-signed and he joined a minor league team in Grand Rapids, Michigan for the 1894 season.

[3] McNabb and Kellogg were staying at the Eiffel Hotel in Pittsburgh, when, at approximately 8:00 p.m., witnesses heard gunshots, screaming, and scuffling coming from their room.

[3] The incident was initially speculated to have resulted from a financial dispute; however, other accounts claim that McNabb accused Kellogg of being in love with another player.

According to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article, letters found in the room indicated that Kellogg was planning to end the relationship, having been sending him money over the winter, and that the couple were nearly broke.

Police surmised that an argument developed, ending in McNabb shooting Kellogg and then turning the gun on himself though due to conflicting reports in the papers, what exactly was said is still debated by researchers to this day.
