It took the Dodgers over 32 years to bring a World Series back to Los Angeles. And while it was obviously a good thing to see it brought back to the city, getting to watch Clayton Kershaw finally get a ring made the wait worthwhile.
It seemed like Kershaw carried the team for so many years, fighting through years of postseason heartbreak to get here. The Dodgers southpaw has changed a lot since winning that title, with coaches noting that it seems like a weight has lifted off of his shoulders. And he’s pitching like it too.
