## Caption

When Shohei Ohtani was a free agent, Joe Kelly’s wife Ashley started the Ohtake17 campaign, lobbying for Ohtani to sign with the Dodgers and offering up her husband’s jersey number.

Shohei signed with the Dodgers and surprised Ashley with a brand new car after being given No. 17 from Joe. Best of luck in your future endeavors, Joe! 💙
