Joe "Fight Club" Kelly has picked up a new nickname. Kelly came to fame in 2018 as a member of the World Champion Boston Red Sox, when he single handedly tried to take on the whole New York Yankee team.
Joe Kelly "Fight Club" tee shirts quickly flooded the market after Joe revealed that he could throw punches almost as fast as his 102 mile per hour 'heater'.
This year Joe is taking his act to the West Coast for the L A Dodgers, and California fans are probably going to be calling him "Crawfish Kelly" after his latest gaffe. Joe was involved in a marathon Crawfish Boil. For five grueling hours he stood above steaming pots of seafood and corn, stirring all the while.
When game time arrived the next day at spring training headquarters in Arizona, "Fight Club" was a no show! Bad back!
"Crawfish" Kelly had to take a few days off before returning. His manager Dave Roberts, himself a Red Sox hero and World Champ, had some advice for the veteran fire-baller. "Stay away from the Jambalaya".
During 2018 when Joe had his war with the Yankees, all of New England was talking about the spirit of the slender pitcher as he waded into the fray. Joe is six foot one inch tall and is generously listed by the Sox as 190. If you look closely at the picture of the melee, you will see a really huge guy who showed great maturity and wisdom by not getting into the action. I'm sure that Joe Kelly thanks his lucky stars every day that the big fella didn't jump in - for that mountain of a man is Mr. Aaron Judge, who at six foot seven and 280 pounds, is literally twice the size of "Crawfish" Kelly.
Stay tuned LA and the rest of the nation and Canada. The 2019 season starts shortly and Fight-Club/Crawfish Kelly is one good reason to watch!.
