It's kind of shocking that I'm twenty-two weeks into the third season of MLBoyfriend and Clayton Kershaw is winning the title for the first time. He is, after all, one of the best pitchers in the MLB. And then there's this:
Kershaw certainly has been very good on the mound recently. On Sunday, August 19, he scored his 150th career win. In that game, he pitched seven full innings and gave up just one run for a 1.29 ERA and his WHIP was a very impressive 0.71 with four hits and one walk and seven strikeouts.
Then, on Saturday, August 26, Kershaw had his second quality start of the week. In eight full innings he gave up seven hits and zero walks (0.80 WHIP) with nine strikeouts. Three runs were scored against him (1.80 ERA) in that game.
So, for the week Kershaw had a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, sixteen strikeouts, two quality starts, and one win. However, the real reason I chose Kershaw this week was not for his stats on the field--impressive as they may be. It was because he got his hipster groove on and played ping pong.
Clayton Kershaw hosted is annual Ping-Pong for a Purpose benefit at Dodger Stadium on Thursday, August 23. The event raises funds for a variety of charities most notably the International Justice Mission which works to end all forms of slavery around the world.
Matthew McConaughey co-hosted the event, and you better believe I am now shipping Clayton and Matthew.
Although Kershaw and celebrity guest Josh Duhamel would also make a very cute couple.
Congratulations, Clayton Kershaw! Your performance on the field and your work for worthy causes have made you my MLBoyfriend of the week. I'm sure the honor was well worth the wait.
