We’ve been missing Joe Kelly lately, as he’s been on the injured list, but Backstage Dodgers did recently feature him getting frozen yogurt with his kids. Here’s a portion of the show. Honestly, probably safer for the Yankees that our guy isn’t there tonight. Imagine Joe Kelly at Yankee Stadium on his birthday on Sunday Night Baseball. Somewhere in Japan, Tyler Austin would awake shuddering.
Happy birthday, Joe Kelly, and thank you for continuing to exist. We’re excited for what this 37th year brings.
