“We have to go slowly.”<\/em>
Because it\u2019s never easy to say goodbye to a legend.<\/p>\nToday, the Los Angeles Dodgers and millions of fans around the world pause to honor Clayton Kershaw \u2013 the heart and soul of this team for more than a decade and a half.<\/p>\n
To us, Kershaw has always been more than just a dominant pitcher, more than the eternal No. 22 on the mound. He has been the symbol of dedication, the anchor we turned to in the toughest moments, and the warm smile that reminded us that even legends can feel close, human, and real.<\/p>\n
As a club, no words can fully capture our gratitude. Clayton gave us golden years, unforgettable nights at Dodger Stadium, and above all, the pride of an entire generation. His legacy is not only etched in the record books, but also lives on in the hearts of everyone who has ever cheered for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
And for the fans \u2013 we will never forget the breathless anticipation before every pitch, the humility he carried even after historic performances, and the image of him walking the field with his family by his side \u2013 proof that behind the greatness stood a devoted husband and father.<\/p>\n
“We have to go slowly.”<\/em>
Because this farewell is more than the end of a chapter \u2013 it feels like letting go of a part of our youth, a part of our best memories.<\/p>\nThank you for everything, Clayton.
The Dodgers will always be home.
No. 22 will always be our pride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
