"Pimpin' ain't easy"

Bobby Kielty didn’t have the luxury of a simple childhood but simple children had the luxury of Bobby Kielty.  Bobby grew up in Fontana, California during the early 1980’s.  He had a few close friends, a following, almost.
Bobby was born Carson Carmichael in a small Scottish town called Rosslyn in August of 1976.  He would soon know the cold, wet feeling of neglect.  His mother, Gaira, being a single mum, knew the best thing for young Carson was to give him up to a more suitable family.
After the auction ended, Carson was given a new name and Mr. and Mrs. Kielty , the new family, were on their way home to California.  Bobby grew up as an outcast, just like any other red headed step child would be.  The cruel California children would often tease Bobby for his shiteous head color, and Mr. Kielty would often beat him with his old Gaucho belt.  Bobby didn’t handle this well for the majority of his childhood.  He could often be found alone in a corner of a room staring off to space; there he once recalled “no one could make fun of me.”
At the age of 13, Bobby found solace in the form of a bat and balls.  He came to terms with his father abandoning him and his mum and started looking forward to life ahead of him instead of behind him.
In 2001, Kielty went pro with the Minnesota Twins.  He spent time with 6 different teams throughout his career.  One scout was quoted back in 2006 “The guy is the definition of ‘pretty useless’.  I have no idea how he continues to get shots with professional ball clubs.”
‘Pretty useless’ he was and after being released by the New York Mets earlier this season, Kielty rejected an offer to be Carrot Top’s stunt double in his upcoming theatrical release “Problem Child 4.”  Bobby instead, decided to go back where it all started, in the small town of Rosslyn, Scottland.  No one ever heard from Bobby Kielty again, and no one gave a shit.
