Clayton Kershaw Gets His Ring

The past few games that Kershaw pitched did not go so well. Something was definitely off, and we all hoped it was a temporary thing.  His outings, especially against the Nationals and also future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer….now that is the Kershaw we all missed!  It’s also exactly why Clayton Kershaw got a World Series ring!

April 6th – vs. the A’s

Kershaw comes in ready to give it all in his 2nd game this season. He manages to pitch a total of seven innings, only allowing four hits and one run. This was the Kershaw we all missed. Even though his rough times, Kershaw has always given 100% to his team, family, and fans. Over the course of the years, he has been criticized heavily, especially following the postseason, but hey, there is a reason he is among the best of the best. 

April 9th – Kershaw Gets His Ring

The moment we have all been waiting for. The day our champion gets his ring. Although we all got to see the moment he held the World Series trophy, fans were eager to see the moment he got his ring back in October. Wow, what can I say? It was one for the books. The moment they call out his name when he sees the ring for the first time, we could see it in his face, the excitement, and overwhelming emotion as he is home with his team, family, and fans receiving something he ( and his team ) had worked for, for a very, very long time.

April 11th – Dodgers Sweep the Nationals

As the final game against the Nationals was approaching, Kershaw’s turn came to the mound and finished off their first 2021 series home. That was exactly what he did. Kershaw came in strong, only allowing five hits with zero runs. Helping the Dodgers sweep the Nationals. 

Get ready, everyone; the season has just begun!
