4/30/12 - I was recently sent an article that was featured in D Magazine this past winter. The interesting thing about the article is that it's written by alum Nick Miller about another alum Clayton Kershaw. Both of these great kids played for us and I remember them fondly. The odd thing is that they did not play for us at the same time....Nick played for our 18U team in 2007, a year after Clayton had graduated from HS and gone pro. Click here to read the article.

A 2011 All-Star, Kershaw won the NL's Triple Crown for pitchers, leading the league with 21 wins, a 2.28 ERA and 248 strikeouts. Kershaw also was among the league leaders in opponents' batting average, innings pitched, complete games, shutouts and WHIP.
Clayton, 21-5 overall, was earlier this month named winner of a Gold Glove (he led the league with nine pickoffs), the first Dodger to win a Cy Young and Gold Glove in the same year since Orel Hershiser in 1988. Kershaw won the Warren Spahn Award as the best left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball, won a Players Choice Award for outstanding pitcher in the NL, was named to The Sporting News NL All-Star team, was a finalist for the Roberto Clemente Award and was named Dodgers Pitcher of the Year by MLB.com. Kershaw (23) began his third full season in the Major Leagues as the Opening Day starter and ended it by becoming the youngest 20-game winner in the Major Leagues since 20-year-old Dwight Gooden of the Mets in 1985.
Roy Halladay (Phil) and Cliff Lee (Phil) finished second and third in the Cy Young voting while another former Dallas Knight, Yovanni Gallardo (Milwaukee), finished seventh.


7/18/11 - The Dallas Knights finished in third place at the 2011 YTS 9U World Series to conclude their 2011 season with an overall record of 39-17-1.
