One of the greatest pitchers of our generation may see his career come to an end after this season, but that doesn’t stop Clayton Kershaw from adding to his legacy. As the future Hall of Fame pitcher searches for one more ring to add to his resumé, he continues to set new records.
Today in the top of the fourth inning against the Rockies, Kershaw passed Cy Young for 24th all time on the strikeouts list with 2,804. Kershaw needs nine more to pass Mike Mussina for 23rd all time.
With Kershaw’s career seemingly coming to an end, it makes these moments that much sweeter.
