🎩 Hats off to #22.
Clayton Kershaw closes the book on 18 seasons in Dodger blue — and he leaves at the very top of history.
📊 Lowest Career ERA (Since 1920, Min. 2000 IP)
1️⃣ Kershaw — 2.54
2️⃣ Whitey Ford — 2.75
3️⃣ Sandy Koufax — 2.76
4️⃣ Tom Seaver — 2.86
5️⃣ Jim Palmer — 2.86
In 105 years of live-ball baseball, no starting pitcher with his workload has done a better job of keeping runs off the board. Kershaw didn’t just edge the legends — he went .21 runs lower than the next closest ERA, creating separation that defines greatness.
From his knee-buckling curve to every roar at Dodger Stadium, Kershaw wasn’t just the ace of a generation — he’s a forever standard. 💙
