The ace of the Los Angeles Dodgers pitching staff, Clayton Kershaw, began the 2017 Postseason against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. Pitching six-and-a-third innings, Kershaw got the victory as the Dodgers started their run to the National League pennant with a 9-5 victory.
Kershaw wore this home white button-down Majestic Flex Base Dodgers jersey during his Game 1 start. This size 50 jersey has the classic “Dodgers” script with a paraph sewn on across the chest in blue tackle twill. Kershaw’s number “22” is sewn on in red tackle twill on the center left chest. The Majestic tag is screen-printed on the bottom front left tail and an additional Majestic bar code tag is adhered vertically on the right-center tail that reads “#22 KERSHAW 2017 50 1570”. The back of the jersey has “KERSHAW” and “22” sewn on in blue tackle twill, along with a plastic MLB Logo patch above the name. The left sleeve has the interlocking “LA” sewn on in blue tackle twill above the Majestic logo that is embroidered in blue. The right sleeve has a plastic “POSTSEASON 2017” patch.
