Clayton Kershaw made his season debut over the weekend. Although his performance over four innings was forgettable, he still added another accomplishment to his illustrious career. Kershaw has now played in 18 seasons for the Dodgers. That ties the franchise record held by outfielder Zack Wheat and shortstop Bill Russell. Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts may have taken over as the team’s big stars, but Kershaw’s role in helping Los Angeles become a powerhouse should not be understated. Like Russell, Kershaw has never played for any other major league team. That makes his tenure in Los Angeles even more special.
