In fact, the former Dodger also took the mound before the game to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. The Dodgers later took to Instagram to post about Kelly's return to his former stomping ground.

"Mariachi Joe. Welcome back to Dodger Stadium, Kelly family!" the post read

Sharing the same post to her story shortly after, Joe Kelly's wife, Ashley, hilariously revealed that her son, Knox, was "embarrassed" because of the way his dad threw the pitch.

In Joe Kelly's defense, Ashley also revealed that his tight jacket, and the fact that he was wearing his World Series winners rings on his throwing hand, did not do the 37-year-old any favors when it came time to throw the ball.

"Knox was PISSED that he bounced it 🤣 like potential 1st time he's ever been embarrassed of his father. I wish I would've had Knox's real time words caught on camera because I was cackling."
"Joe was like 'bro you have no idea how tight this jacket is on me now, I can't get my arm up'. Joe also thought it was a good idea to wear his WORLD SERIES rings on his throwing hand so he tried to keep those from falling off as well." Ashley Kelly posted
