Picture this: a whirlwind of anticipation, creativity, and a touch of friendly competition in the world of Major League Baseball. It all started when the wife of pitcher Joe Kelly, Ashley, hatched an ingenious plan to entice the coveted free agent, Shohei Ohtani, to join the illustrious Los Angeles Dodgers. What did she do, you ask? Well, she embarked on what can only be deemed an #Ohtake17 campaign, using her creative talents to win over the two-way star.
In a heartwarming video shared by the Dodgers, Ashley Kelly showcased an array of No. 17 paraphernalia that her family owned, ready to be repurposed for Ohtani and his loved ones. She even went so far as to offer to rename their precious baby, Kai, to ShoKai—a testament to her unwavering dedication. But little did Ashley know what awaited her on the other side of the front door.
