The baseball from Christian Arroyo's first big-league hit will probably be placed in a display box, with a brass plate noting the date, inning, where the ball went and the pitcher who threw it.
He and his family would have loved the shrine even if the pitcher's name was Heath Dinglefroom. How wonderful for them that it actually will read "Clayton Kershaw."
Arroyo's family was in the stands to see his first-inning single against a great pitcher and stuck around to see another ho-hum Kershaw triumph at AT&T Park in a 2-1 Dodgers victory.
