Clayton Kershaw revealed Dodgers nearly gave him ultimate send-off in Game 7

With Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 90 feet away from tying Game 7 of the World Series in the bottom of the 11th, Dave Roberts had two relievers warming in his bullpen: Roki Sasaki and Clayton Kershaw.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto had cleaned up the bottom of the ninth for Blake Snell and took down the Blue Jays in order in the 10th, but Guerrero beat him to lead off the 12th with a double. A sacrifice bunt from Isiah Kiner-Falefa moved him to third.

Calling in Kershaw to get the last out of the World Series to close out his 18-year career would've been almost too perfect.
