Clayton Kershaw was absolutely filthy last night, limiting the Braves to three hits and a single run over seven innings while fanning 12—the most by a Dodger pitcher in game postseason game since Sandy Koufax K'd 15 Yankees in Game 1 of the 1963 World Series. He scuffled a bit in the 4th inning, in which he gave up his only run, and at times he struggled with his command. But it's a testament to Kershaw's greatness that on a night he wasn't at his best, he still registered one of the top pitching performances in the Dodgers' storied history. And he's only 25. Amazing.
In honor of Kershaw's stellar effort last night, here's a 1972 Topps card of Clayton I made recently. (I'm biased, but I think it looks better than the '72 Topps design cards of Kid K found in 2013 Archives and the 2013 Series 1 mini insert set.) Enjoy!
