I don't think I'll ever take for granted having seen Kershaw pitch with my own eyes at Dodgers Stadium. We're truly lucky to have this man on our team.

[@baileys5673]

Got to see it for the first time last year.. so fortunate

[@baileys5673]

Not so fun fact - the game I saw him in was his last start of 2021. The one where he walked off the field with his ball in hand.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I've seen him pitch in Dodger stadium and in San Francisco. He won both games and the one in San Francisco was especially fun because he dominated them and the fans were super pissed on the way out. Kershaw is the best. Go Blue!

[@Jonathanhall148]

I was at this game and let me just say it really was something special. It really was the best game I’ve ever seen.

[@pete7720]

ellen has witnessed all of his great moments in person. let that sink in

[@TheBabyd794]

My husband and I were there that night and the energy in the stadium was amazing. I’ll never forget that night, thank you for this Kershaw! Btw Ellen is such a beautiful person, she loves her husband and family. You can see the love

[@CamxCam.]

At one point, years ago, watching Clayton Kershaw & wanting to see how his career turned out was the only thing keeping me here. Honestly, it's pathetic & sad to think about, but it's true. Glad to still be alive to watch a great man do great things.

[@dordonez11]

The greatest pitcher of our generation.

[@emansalgado]

man the Kershaw family is just so wholesome and pure nothing but good intentions and positive vibes there. We are lucky to have them as part of the Dodger family

[@TannerMxer182]

Just clicked play - time to cry. EDIT: And it had me sobbing by the end. I've never had such an emotional attachment to any player I've ever watched in my 39 years of existence. Kersh feels like a family member. He's gave everything to the Dodgers and us fans know it. We know there was a stretch of 4-6 years where the team was literally on his back and would be nowhere near what it was without him... and for that we are forever grateful. I've never visited Cooperstown and the HOF before, but my wife has already given me permission to someone procure tickets to Clayton's induction ceremony when he is inducted and I will visit the HOP when Clayton Edward Kershaw walks through their doors. It has been an absolute joy and honor to watch this man pitch, and I am so glad it was in my family's favorite sports team. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@andrewsmith755]

This show is unbelievably well produced

[@ke1ke140]

Definitely one of the greats if not the greatest.

[@ProSportsOutlook]

Kershaw is one of the best Dodgers of all time! He has already achieved so much in his career so far!

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I'd argue he is the greatest Dodger of all time. Not just on the field, but off as well. Completely authentic great human being.

[@gerr1986]

I was there in person. Glad I was able to witness a historic moment from my favorite Dodger player. I would respect if he chooses to go play with the Rangers after this season but I definitely believe he should retire as a Dodger. Anyone agrees? Go Dodgers!!

[@birdiecervera-martinez9726]

So much love a d respect for this man.. I knew when I seen him I said that's the next Sandy ...my fav.22 LA's og.

[@nowtheworld138]

Not only is Clayton Kershaw my favorite Dodger ever. He is my favorite ball player ever. To see him as a pudgy kid wearing number 54 in his debut. To becoming the the player and man he became has been an absolute honor. Thank you for everything. As a life long Dodger fan I'm 36 it's been honor. Seeing him run in after the last pitch of the 20' world series with his hands in the air made me cry then and tear up now. What he has meant to this franchise can never be understated.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

I'm with you 100%. Except Ken Griffey Jr. Shares that top spot with Kershaw. It's been a privilege to watch him pitch. Especially as a 34 year old lifelong Dodgers fan.

[@manolozambrana9732]

El mejor abridor q he podido ver gracias

[@dianasun3169]

Clayton Kershaw you are my idol. We want to congratulate you on milestone of strike outs for the Dodgers. You are very blessed to have so many supports from your families and the Dodgers fans. Let’s Go Dodgers.

[@monkeymustang]

Ellen is a class act!! I love that women. Kershaw family ❤️❤️❤️

[@Joshua-pu5vj]

Let’s Go Dodgers,

[@ernesto_jmz9941]

oh okay

[@Beast_1996]

Proud to say I was there in person! 😃💙⚾️🌭😊

[@DirectThreat]

Where she sits is one of the best spots to watch a game at Dodger stadium

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Oh, she is a very smart woman.

[@Turkey952]

Kershaw was a beast always taking on Lincecum, Cain and Bumgarner… and so many other Aces

[@JimCarryz]

WE LOVE YOU CLAYTON AND THE ENTIRE KERSHAW FAMILY!

[@airt698]

I am sorry I was so pissed at you Kersh for all those Playoff chokes, we Dodger fans really do take you for granted. We are truly Blessed to have you

[@nowtheworld138]

He never choked. He took the L's but you can't call yourself a Dodger fan and say he choked. Talk about all the pressure he had on his back and not once did he ever complain about it. There is a great saying I love. "There is defeat in victory and victory in defeat" and he is the epitome of that. He got his ring he has nothing to prove to anyone

[@airt698]

@@nowtheworld138 Nah bruh, against cardinals and Mets definitely choked, homie. im die hard since you were in diapers

[@nowtheworld138]

@@airt698 since you want to sling diapers how long? I've been a fan for 37 years. And even then it's easy being a fan when the team is winning a real fan is there regardless. And you act like it was all his fault. The offense put up a lot of 0's on his behalf. So when Mariano lost games he choked? Or anyone else? You have to see how that's a weak take. And why can't you give the Mets and Cardinals their just due?

[@la-do-ra-ch6810]

@@airt698 If you think Kershaw choked, you didn't watch his career or you're just a casual.

[@airt698]

@@la-do-ra-ch6810 @nowtheworl138 Oh you guys are super fans huh, well in 3 WS appearance Kersh is 3 and 2 with a 4.46 ERA in 7 NLCS Appearance even worse 3 and 6 with a 4.84 ERA. Even Kershaw would tell you this is unacceptable buddies, so the Data says he's a choker and my eyes tell me he was a choker in the Postseason. So I stand by my statements, I love him as a Dodger we have been blessed but he was not the Iconic Pitcher we needed in the Postseason by a mile.

[@thomasirick7369]

Dodgers is a team I always love l

[@rudya0099]

We are witnessing greatness

[@yeahbuddy1365]

I was there with my family!!! Best live game moment I’ve got to experience!!! Go Dodgers!!!!

[@miterca]

Love him! Sooo cool ⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️💙⚾️💙💙⚾️💙

[@jimharper2180]

When Clayton threw his no-hitter in June of 2014, he and Ellen didn’t have any children yet. It’s surreal to see them with their beautiful family now. Eight years passed by in an instant. Now, please bring him back in 2023 and let us witness his 3000th strikeout.

[@rammyissa]

The GOAT

[@parkermaki3799]

When a man carry’s a team like Clayton, his back is eventually going to hurt

[@nowtheworld138]

But a real man never complains. And I've never heard him complain once. He took all the L's on the chin and the wins he passed them to everyone else

[@brandocalrissian3294]

​@@nowtheworld138fucking a right! He's a real man. Also, great profile pic.

[@ipina350z]

Loving this episode

[@MaurizzioIaccono]

crying my eyes out rn

[@eliaslopez3321]

get well soon clayton!!

[@alvinduran5540]

How tf I can love someone so much that I have never met, idk? But goddamnit I love that man

[@zzzz-dg6lq]

the way she talking about dallas seems like Kershaw will become a Ranger next year

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Anyone who doesn't vote Kershaw into Cooperstown first ballot should not only lose their vote, but they should be exiled to the Australian outback.

[@monarchmoore9590]

pues es el lider en ponches pero en playoff.siempre .decesiona..kershaw

[@nowtheworld138]

En que manera? Por que tuvo mas juegos Buenos que malos. Y muchos de ellos el equipo nunca le dio el apoyo con carreras. Pero que facil es olvidar eso. Que no?

[@PokeKev151]

I was there!!! It was Gibson bobble head night!! Great times!!

[@mh-do3pe]

Man, they don't make women like Ellen anymore.

[@miro11912]

💯💯💯

[@gme213la2]

When you see the flashback videos of his wife , you realize that time flies, life is so good that you get to reminisce God is good 😊

[@gregspencer5089]

Awesome video, but my main takeaway is why isnt Charlie still in a car seat? Lol

[@yoko-tj7dy]

シャーザーの方が遥かに上の投手ですな

[@bryanaquinojr4236]

first

[@dickborg452]

Congrats Clayton.

[@joshuaboggs1058]

I've been a Dodger fan for 35 years... I cried watching this! My dad is in his mid 60's and has had the pleasure of watching a lot of the Dodger greats the Kershaw passed up! So special! Kershaw is the Koufax of my generation!

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Kershaw is better than Koufax. Sandy agrees, so that means it is fact.

[@sweetleafstreams5271]

He was scouted, drafted, brought through the ranks, and played his entire career with the dodgers!!! Let that sink in! Kershaw is the MAN!!!!! LOVE THAT GUY!!!!! The year he won the MVP is nubers were absolutely stupid!!! 2014 he goes 21-3 1.77era 0.86whip 239K's !!!!! GOD LIKE!!!! Kershaw will go down as one of the greats and to say that with the likes of Koufax drysdale sutton fernie Newcombe the list goes!!! THANK YOU CLAYTON THANK YOU FOR THE LIFETIME OF MEMORIES!
