On Saturday, after the final game of his Hall of Fame career, he sent a message to his Dodgers teammates in the clubhouse.
“It’s an absolute honor to be in this clubhouse with you guys,” Kershaw said. “I love every single one of you. I can’t imagine a better way to go out than to pop bottles with this group of guys.”
Kershaw officially rides off into the sunset as a back-to-back winner.
He played a critical role in the Dodgers’ 2025 season, making 23 appearances in the regular season and sporting a 3.36 ERA across 112.2 innings. He then made two postseason appearances, including one in Game 3 of the World Series, where he got the final out in a based loaded jam in the 12th inning en route to their 18-inning win.
In a few years, Kershaw will be in Cooperstown as a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history.
On Saturday night, he gets to celebrate with one of the greatest teams in the midst of their dynasty.

Oh yeah I am so grateful that Clayton got it in in game 3 and I am sure he would be in the Hall now if you could get in before retirement. Wonderful series for the Dodgers kept all fans enthralled, although if l were a blue jays fan I’d be heartbroken…
