Personal
After Hurricane Katrina, Dellucci, a Louisiana native, started the Catch 22 for Blue Foundation to raise money to help the victims of the hurricane. He was rewarded with a Commendation from the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives. He heads Dellucci's Dream Foundation which puts on an annual free baseball clinic in Baton Rouge for boys and girls and educates young children with life skills. Dellucci is on the Board of Directors for the Miracle League of Baton Rouge which has built a rubberized field for handicapped children in wheelchairs and walkers to play baseball. He helps coach and pitches during the games.
He has also worked for regional sports networks as a color analyst for college baseball games (mostly Southeastern Conference games). Dellucci is an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting and fishing.
Dellucci was elected into the Louisiana American-Italian Hall of Fame in 2011.
He is married to Rachel Reynolds, a model on The Price Is Right, and in a 2010 Ultimate Wedding Shower, was a model on a One Bid prize, a wedding outfit for bride and groom. It was the first time a model had appeared with her husband modeling prizes. With two of the show's four models (as of Season 40) being married, both models have modeled prizes along with their husbands.
On the Season 41 premiere (September 24th, 2012), Dellucci appeared with his wife to announce the family is expecting their first child, with the sonogram of the child appearing on the One Bid item, an iPad. The child is due February 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth. Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting of the sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium—that is, of any extension of ourselves—result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
