You’d be hard-pressed to find someone who is more of a public enemy No. 1 for Dodgers fans than Manny Machado.
From his ill-fated (and stomp-filled) time with the Dodgers to his throw heard ‘round the world last postseason, there’s no love lost between Machado and the residents of Chavez Ravine.
But just because he’s not well-liked around the Dodgers doesn’t mean that he doesn’t recognize history. We got an example of that earlier this week when Machado spoke about Kershaw retiring after the season.
“He's one of the best competitors that this game has ever seen, we’re losing a legend,” Machado told reporters when asked about Kershaw (H/T to The Sporting Tribune’s Marty Caswell).
