With Clayton Kershaw’s retirement announcement, I decided to write the story of the first time I met him. It was March 2007 on the backfields at Dodgertown. I was trying to find the great Sandy Koufax, but instead I ran a young into a Clayton Kershaw.

I love this guy’s attitude.
Q: How difficult is it knowing that you’re here to eat innings, things start going a little rough, you look over your shoulder and the bullpen’s empty and you’re going to be left out there to wear it for a while?
COLE IRVIN: It’s part of the job, you know? I signed up to be a Major League baseball player. Some nights aren’t going to go your way, and you just gotta be able to take one on the lip and keep going. I can sit here and smile because all of the work I put into my season so far got me this opportunity and I’m not going to let anything get in the way of the joy that I have right now. Yeah, it sucks to lose, but at the same time, I earned this opportunity and I’m thankful for it.

If you told me a majority of MLB owners were colluding so that they could use the Dodgers as the reason for a salary cap…
I’d probably believe you at this point.

Was on the 2012 #Dodgers team that went thru bankruptcy. New ownership eventually came in & promised from day 1 that they would do all they could to put a winning team on the field. To go from that to where we are now has been incredible to witness.

Baseball America does not have the Dodgers giving up a top 5 prospect in their system or a top 50 prospect in MLB. Pathetic return for the Tigers
Zyhir Hope (#6 in LAD, #55 in MLB)
River Ryan (#9 in LAD, NR in MLB)
Brady Smith (#27 in LAD)

The Dodgers just acquired arguably the best pitcher in baseball for prospects they acquired in deals where they sent away Michael Busch…. and Matt Beaty
If you think they acquired Tarik Skubal because they have money shut the hell up

Mookie Betts traded bc Red Sox were cheap with their extension
Braves chose Olson over Freeman
Angels refused to win around Ohtani
Yankees wouldn’t pay Yamamoto more than Cole
Arte vetoed a Pages trade
Rays didn’t want to pay Glasnow
Cardinals gave up on Edman
A’s DFA’d Max Muncy
& now Tigers refused to pay Tarik Skubal.
These baseball GMs make it too easy.

I do my best on here to explain just how special this place is but often, others do it so much better.
Just walked by a little kid on Main St. who said, “It’s Cooperstown, mom. It’s a once in a lifetime experience!”
P.S. It doesn’t have to be! 😉

Another milestone reached for Shohei Ohtani. Congratulations on 300 career home runs!

As America turns 250, I wanted to share my favorite moment in the past 250 years. #Cubs
