"Clayton Kershaw capped off his illustrious career by winning a third World Series championship with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The left-hander is now officially retired after spending 18 seasons with the organization. He is one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history and accomplished just about everything on the field, from three Cy Young Awards to a triple crown. Aside from his success on the mound, Kershaw was a popular teammate for his approachability and leadership."
""I was glad he got into the extra-inning game and made that big pitch to get out of the jam. When you have guys like that, who are icons of the game, it's pretty cool that they get to walk away from it winning their last one.""
"Although he is retired now, Kershaw will always have a home with the Dodgers and figures to return to the organization at some point in a full-time role or as a special advisor. He recently declined an opportunity to join the Dodgers front office in favor of spending more time with his family. Kershaw and wife Ellen welcomed their fifth child last month."
