Kershaw goes for 2,000th strikeout today
It was just nine years ago that Clayton Kershaw was making his first start for the LAD, now he’s trying to notch his 2,000th strikeout. Time flies when you are having fun.
Kershaw already owns the most strikeouts for any Dodger by age 29, but if he can wrangle ten strikeouts today, he would hit the coveted 2,000 strikeout level.
Heck of list, three HOF pitchers, one future HOF pitcher, and the most popular LAD. Won’t be long now before the historians start laying claims that Clayton Kershaw is the greatest pitcher in history before age 30.
