When the Los Angeles Dodgers were deciding on their Opening Day starter, one factor taken into consideration was the home opener and World Series ring ceremony. By starting Clayton Kershaw in the season opener, he was able to soak in all the festivities at Dodger Stadium.
“Kind of a culmination of everything from last year,” Kershaw said after a 3-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon. It was his first time speaking with media since the Dodgers received their historic World Series ring.
“Getting to see the ring for the first time, put that on and celebrate with your teammates, celebrate with fans back here at Dodger Stadium,” Kershaw added.
