"The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a consecutive World Series title in epic Game 7 fashion. The showdown was also the final game of future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw's illustrious career. The three-time Cy Young award winner took time to reflect on his final appearance at Dodger Stadium during the unforgettable 18-inning classic that was Game 3 of the World Series."
""It's a weird thought, of like, 'This is your last game ever there,' Kershaw said. "And not a sad thought. Honestly, just a grateful thought. Just like, 'Man, we spent a lot of great times here.' Kershaw was deployed from the bullpen in relief during the 12th inning of what would end up being an 18-inning classic to decide Game 3. He entered in an incredibly tense, two-out, bases loaded situation, but after eight pitches and a nifty defensive play from Tommy Edman, the future Hall of Famer got out of the jam."
""I just started thinking about it when the game ended," Kershaw said. "I was like, 'Man, I might as well walk across this thing one more time.'""
