Had a long career. Don’t know much about him, but I always like to see guys get that one last good year in at the end.
He’s 37 y/o. It’s remarkable that he can still play along with the younger team members, but maybe now is the right time to do something else, for the next phase of life.
Go now, while you still have your health and your spouse.
I no longer follow baseball. And it shows. When I read the title I thought it referred to the great Louisiana fiddle player Doug Kershaw.
Good for him! I will never forget Game 5 of the NLDS a few years ago, Dodgers vs Nats in DC. The Dodgers brought him in on short rest as a reliever. After every pitch he threw, the catcher came out to talk with him. Of course we booed and booed, because we knew he was just giving the Kershaw a bit of rest. The next year MLB prescribed the number of mound visits that could be made.
I read that he and NFL QB Matthew Stafford were best friends growing up. Anyway, enjoy your retirement Clayton!
A great pitcher with a long career who played his entire career with one team. He’ll be wearing a Dodger uniform as he enters the Hall of Fame in a few years.
He has had a long great career. Not much success in the post-season for whatever reason but he was a regular season workhorse and winner. A Hall of Fame for sure. 222 wins as of today.
All-time legend? He's not Sandy Koufax or Bob Gibson, but he's been pretty damn good.
GREAT pitcher. Good move.
