Former Dodger Gets Roundly Booed by Houston Astros Fans
Former Dodgers RHP Joe Kelly has an interesting history with the Houston Astros. Kelly was with the Red Sox in 2017, the year the Astros went all the way and won the World Series — and also, of course, the year they were found to be cheating.
Kelly's Red Sox were ousted by the Astros in the ALDS in four games, on their way to beating the Dodgers in seven.
Then, in 2019, Kelly joined the Dodgers — and in 2020, he got his opportunity to face the Astros again.
Kelly was famous for making the pouty face at Carlos Correa after striking him out, which became one of the more well-known moments in the team's recent history.
However, Kelly signed with the White Sox in 2022, and over the weekend, he got an opportunity to play them in front of their home fans.
When he was pulled from the game, the fans let him hear it.
Here were some highlights from inside the stadium:
Fans clearly don't forget, and were very happy to get their revenge on Kelly after the famous incident.
Kelly threw one inning, allowing two hits and a run while striking out one. The White Sox ended up losing that game, with Kelly getting the loss.
Everything usually comes back to bite you in this league — except for, I guess, cheating in a World Series winning season.
