kershawClayton Kershaw has been with the Dodgers since being drafted by them in 2006. He has put together a Hall of Fame career and has been great in the regular season, winning three Cy Young awards and an NL MVP. But he was also known for his postseason mediocrity. However, in 2020, a lot of that changed.
The Dodgers finally won the World Series after falling short in previous seasons. Kershaw also went 4-1 in the postseason, including going 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in two starts against the Rays in the Fall Classic.
As you could imagine, winning the World Series meant a ton to the 33-year-old southpaw. Here is how he looked when he got his World Series ring on Friday at Dodger Stadium.

This was a long time coming for Dodgers fans. They had waited since 1988 to see another championship. And for Kershaw, the ring was extra sweet.
