It was no ordinary Wednesday at Jack in the Box in Ontario, Calif., on Wednesday.

Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly pulled into the parking lot driving his wife's new Porsche that Shohei Ohtani gifted her.

His appearance was part of the Dodgers Love L.A. Community Tour.

The Kelly family went viral on Christmas Eve when Joe captured his wife, Ashley, on camera with a new sports car parked outside of their house.

“It’s yours…from Shohei.”

Fans posted on social media throughout the afternoon with photos of Kelly at the fast food joint — and of the car.

Kelly quickly became a fan favorite with the Dodgers during his initial stint from 2019-21.

This time around, he gave up his No. 17 for Ohtani and will wear No. 99 this season. Fans will have an opportunity to get their No. 99 jersey this season on Tuesday, June 11 when the giveaway is a Joe Kelly home jersey. Unfortunately, it won't come with a Porsche.
