Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kellys wife, Ashley Kelly, offered up her husbands number 17 to new acquisition Shohei Ohtani through a social media campaign. Ohtani reciprocated her gesture by gifting her a silver Porsche. Ashley publicly lobbied for Ohtani to sign with the Dodgers and even offered to rename their baby to ShoKai. After Ohtani signed with the Dodgers, Ashley posted a video of her throwing her number 17 gear on her front lawn. Joe Kelly gave up his number 17 to Ohtani and will now wear number 99. Ohtanis gift to Ashley was a token of appreciation for her campaign.
