Dodgers Fans React to Clayton Kershaw Achieving Major Milestone
In front of a packed house at Dodgers Stadium on Saturday night, Clayton Kershaw became the Dodgers franchise all-time strikeout leader. As fate would have it, Kershaw got the record setting punch out with the pitch that has buoyed his success in the back half of his career – his slider.
Kershaw received a standing ovation at Chavez Ravine, and a standing ovation on Dodgers twitter.

I already knew Clayton Kershaw was the greatest of all time, but needless to say am still ecstatic to see him officially become the greatest Dodger strikeout king of all time for the record books. #Dodgers ?

Would any big night in LA be complete without a Magic Johnson tweet?

One fan remarked how fortunate Dodgers fans have been to watch so many pitching legends over the last few decades.
I’ve lived through Fernando, Orel, and Kersh…I’ve been spoiled for sure

He was already a Hall-of-Famer, but another milestone never hurts.
Just want to put this out there: Clayton Kershaw should 100% be unanimously voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligble. #Dodgers

Even one of the biggest baseball media companies, run by die-hard Yankees fans, took notice.
