Clayton Kershaw the heart and soul of the Dodgers for last two decades

Special to The Desert Sun

For nearly two decades, he was the comforter, the stopper, the man, the ace and the heart of a Los Angeles franchise that drafted him out of a Texas High School.

Clayton Kershaw may have even been more than just the heart of the Dodgers. He was the soul, too.

He was more consistent than Tommy Lasorda’s jokes, more reliable than the 7 th inning stretch, and as beloved as Vin Scully.
