Joe Kelly had a special look for his White House visit on Friday.
The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher, 33, showed up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to meet President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris wearing a custom embroidered black and white Mariachi jacket.
His frock was a gift from Grover Castro, a trumpeter with Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar. The band performed at Dodgers' Stadium for the team's June 27 face-off against the Cubs, and while warming up before the game, Kelly and Castro struck up a conversation on the field.
Turns out, Kelly wanted Castro's coat, and offered up his personal baseball jersey in exchange.
"Wanna trade?" Kelly asked, in a video of their chat posted to the band's Instagram page. "Your jacket for my jersey."
Kelly's bargaining paid off. Later in the clip, the athlete jogged over to Castro in the stands, and swapped stuff.
"Awesome man, thank you. Appreciate it, man!" Castro said, excitedly showing off the jersey for the camera.
