"Dude, there's no way they take it down. You know why? This is why. Because ever since that mural's been up, the Dodgers have won a World Series. You take it down, you're gonna lose World Series. They're gonna jinx it,"
"I mean, you take that mural down... let's see if they win the World Series,"
"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."
A mural of former Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly stands along the left-field reserve level at Dodger Stadium. Kelly warned the Dodgers against removing the mural, saying the team won a World Series after it went up and that taking it down could jinx future championships. The mural celebrates Kelly’s "Mariachi Joe" persona, earned after trading a game-worn jersey for a mariachi jacket and wearing it at the White House and during ceremonial appearances. Kelly indicated he does not plan to continue his playing career and compiled a 3.72 ERA in 161 appearances and 147.2 innings with the Dodgers.
