When you play 18 years and for one team and accomplish all that he\u2019s accomplished, it\u2019s extremely difficult. For guys like that who are Hall of Famers, it\u2019s like, \u2018How do they do it?\u2019 You know what I mean? It\u2019s a super tough thing to do year in and year out. Gosh, for 10-12 years he was the best in the game. To do it and be consistent and do it for that long is extremely hard. It\u2019s kind of crazy. It\u2019s tough to do, for sure.\u201d \u2014 Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Woodruff<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously he\u2019s been the best of our generation, my generation. Just watching him pitch, you know you\u2019re playing against a Hall of Famer. It\u2019s been pretty special, especially to see what he\u2019s doing this year, the year he\u2019s having. I\u2019m glad he gets the kind of sendoff he deserves. He\u2019s been one of the best for a long time.\u201d \u2014 New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: <a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/mlb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 Notable reactions to Clayton Kershaw\u2019s announcement that he will retire after the 2025 season:&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":237284,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[591,125130,276,20404,7480,2502,4247,1266,1822,1305,1275,62,48763,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-237283","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brandon-woodruff","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-clay-holmes","12":"tag-clayton-kershaw","13":"tag-los-angeles-dodgers","14":"tag-milwaukee-brewers","15":"tag-mlb","16":"tag-mlb-baseball","17":"tag-new-york-mets","18":"tag-san-francisco-giants","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-sports-retirements","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-unitedstates","23":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115227403525600156","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237283","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237283"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237283\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237284"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237283"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237283"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237283"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
