Clayton Kershaw’s great expectations
Quote:
MOBILE, Ala. – The theme of the day is worship, and the chaplain at the front of the room hopes the six young men sitting in front of him understand its importance.
“We need to worship,” Bobby Butler says in his shrimp-and-grits voice. “We want to worship. I want to worship.”
One of the men is Clayton Kershaw, and the lesson rings familiar. He is a believer. He is also believed in. It’s not that people worship Kershaw, exactly. It’s just that he is a 20-year-old left-handed pitcher playing at Double-A Jacksonville in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization with a fastball that crackles at 97 mph and a curveball that, hyperbole aside, is probably the best in the world, and for those reasons, people worship the idea of him: of limitless potential, of youth unshackled, of the unknown and unseen.
