Tonight I got to see Clayton Kershaw pitch in Round Rock in a rehab start.
Seeing him pitch let's me check him off my list of HOFers I've seen play.
Ive kept almost all my ticket stubs since I was a kid and a year or so ago I went through them all to figure out who I did and didn't see. Going back to when I was born (1981) I have seen every enshrined player whose career started after that season, except Kirby Puckett.
There are a couple of guys whose careers have ended more recently that will make that list of misses longer (Posey and Grienke come to mind) but I was excited to see Kershaw and scratch him off the list.
