The Dodgers passed over the money without even thinking about it, for it is money they had and peace they lacked. In Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers found that peace, building a culture and a baseball team around one man who has helped shape the history of the game but still longs to do so much more. Without the Kershaw, Chavez Ravine may not be a Field of Dreams but for the next three seasons, Kershaw will be back in blue to continue building his Dodger legacy.
When Kershaw walked through the halls of the stadium and onto the field for Opening Day it was impossible to miss what is so clearly displayed on the faces of the upper deck in both right and left field.
