“We have to go slowly.”
Because it’s never easy to say goodbye to a legend.

Today, the Los Angeles Dodgers and millions of fans around the world pause to honor Clayton Kershaw – the heart and soul of this team for more than a decade and a half.

To us, Kershaw has always been more than just a dominant pitcher, more than the eternal No. 22 on the mound. He has been the symbol of dedication, the anchor we turned to in the toughest moments, and the warm smile that reminded us that even legends can feel close, human, and real.

As a club, no words can fully capture our gratitude. Clayton gave us golden years, unforgettable nights at Dodger Stadium, and above all, the pride of an entire generation. His legacy is not only etched in the record books, but also lives on in the hearts of everyone who has ever cheered for the Dodgers.

And for the fans – we will never forget the breathless anticipation before every pitch, the humility he carried even after historic performances, and the image of him walking the field with his family by his side – proof that behind the greatness stood a devoted husband and father.

“We have to go slowly.”
Because this farewell is more than the end of a chapter – it feels like letting go of a part of our youth, a part of our best memories.

Thank you for everything, Clayton.
The Dodgers will always be home.
No. 22 will always be our pride.
