Kilduff was one of three players from tiny Weir City, Kansas to come to the majors in the early twentieth century. He played for Oklahoma City from 1914-1916 and for Omaha in 1917. When Buck Herzog was injured, the 1917 New York Giants called Kilduff up to play second base.
He was soon traded to the 1917 Chicago Cubs and the next year was part of their pennant-winning team. However, he was not in the 1918 World Series as he was serving in the Navy at the time. He was again traded to the Brooklyn Robins where he finished his major league career.
Over his ten seasons in the minors, he also played five with the San Francisco Seals (1022-1926) in the Pacific Coast League with 487 RBI's and 57 home runs, and winning the PCL championship in 1922, 1923 and 1925, winning the 1923 Pennant and came within a game and a half of the 1924 pennant. He was a teammate the whole time with Babe Ellison. He also played in the 1925 PCL All-Star team, and as 2B for what was considered the best infield in PCL history from 1922-1925.
