Not that we encourage drinking, but this trivia question could win you a bar bet: How many times has Clayton Kershaw started the All-Star Game?
Terry Collins did not know. So, in 2016, when he managed the National League All-Star team, he went right to the source.
He has those three National League Cy Young awards, and a most valuable player award too. But, on a night when Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant were in the house, when Kirk Gibson and Dennis Eckersley teamed to throw out a touching first pitch, when Sandy Koufax watched intently from the owners’ box, the reminders of what Kershaw does not have loomed.
