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:
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“If society gives up the right to impose the death penalty, then self help will appear again and personal vendettas will be around the corner.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“I’m afraid, sir, that I gave up my belief in goblins, witches, personal devils and werewolves at the age of six.”
—John Colton (1886–1946)
