Clayton Kershaw reported to spring training Thursday, a day late because a small pipe burst in the back of his Dallas house after a winter storm recently ravaged Texas, as a World Series champion for the first time.
Over the next few days, as the rest of the team joins the pitchers and catchers, he anticipates the team will spend some time commemorating the feat after the COVID-19 pandemic didn’t allow for a proper celebration. The focus will then turn to 2021 and winning the World Series again.
“The expectation is to win a World Series and so we have to remember that it doesn’t matter that we won last year,” Kershaw said in a video conference with reporters Sunday.
