Entire libraries could be filled with descriptions of what Clayton Kershaw accomplished as a member of the Dodgers. And yet, it could never be enough to accurately describe what he meant to the organization, city of Los Angeles and the game of baseball as a whole."
"At 18 years old, Kershaw was selected by the Dodgers with the seventh overall pick in the 2006 MLB Draft. He had committed to Texas A&M University but turned down the scholarship offer to begin his professional career. By 2008, the left-hander was promoted to the Majors straight from Double-A Jacksonville. In total, Kershaw played in 30 games between A-ball and an additional 18 games in Double-A."
