Clayton Kershaw was selected as a 'Legend Pick' for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game, which he had mixed emotions about, concerned about taking someone else's spot. Although Kershaw has a solid season ERA of 3.38, it did not reflect traditional All-Star numbers considering his accomplishments. The decision by MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred delighted Kershaw's peers, including players like Paul Skenes and Andrew Abbott, who were excited to learn from him. Skenes specifically valued their time together, highlighting Kershaw's class and impact on the game.
"My initial response was you don't ever want to take somebody's spot or you don't ever want to be like a sideshow. You just want to be a part of it if you deserve it."
"Our lockers were next to each other. He's such a class act. It's just so impressive, obviously, what he's done in the game, but the human that he is, I think...it's really special for me to have the time with him."
