Hobbies are tennis, golf, traveling and music: A cool story
re Kelly and traveling – on a 2013 drive with his family from Los Angeles to
San Francisco, they stopped at a remote rest stop where they were the only ones
there. Shortly after, another couple came to the remote rest stop – quite to
their surprise, it was Yankees legend Don Larsen and his wife Corrine.
Favorite sports announcer is Howard Cosell: Cosell was
famous for people loving to hate him but a lot of people must have liked him,
as he wouldn’t have stuck around so long otherwise.
Favorite player as a kid was Larry Bowa: Kelly grew up in the
Philadelphia area where he would have watched Bowa play.
Most prized possession is his beach home: Kelly moved from
Pennsylvania to Tampa, FL after his rookie season.
Might have been a teacher if he hadn’t been an athlete:
Kelly did not go into teaching after his baseball career.
Pet peeve is early phone calls: Baseball, and I guess sports
in general, do favor night people over morning people.
Where he is now: After his career he has gone into scouting,
focusing on Australian baseball. In late 2017 the 50-year-old Kelly and his
34-year-old girlfriend were arrested on domestic charges after a fight in
Manhattan; charges were later dropped when both refused to cooperate with
police.
