Former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly announced that he is done playing baseball during an appearance on the Baseball Isn’t Boring podcast.
Kelly has made several key relief appearances for the Dodgers over the years, though at 41, he is seemingly at the end of his career.
“I can throw gas still at 41 but now? Hell no, I ain’t playing,” Kelly said.
“There’s no such thing as retirement for athletes. Retiring is something my grandmother did. Let’s cancel the word retirement, it’s used for people who served in the military, for people who worked til 65. You guys deserve to retire, athletes don’t.”
