1. Mariachi Joe

Nothing captured Joe Kelly’s personality better than his appearance at the Dodgers’ White House visit celebrating their 2020 World Series triumph. While most players showed up in suits, Kelly wore a mariachi charro jacket he had bartered off a band member that had played at Dodger Stadium earlier in the week.

Kelly had to wear the jacket because he had forgotten an extra suit jacket for the White House visit, but he had the charro jacket with him and wore that instead, creating an indelible image and fodder for memes that will likely never go away.

Joe Kelly might not have been the best free agent acquisition, but he had his moments, and his personality made it just as fun as if he’d been a grand success.
