Wish Clayton Kershaw a very happy birthday by enjoying 10 of his very nastiest GIFs

Clayton Kershaw's career ERA is 2.43 -- 54 percent better than league average. He's posted an ERA below 3 every year but 2008, when he was a 20-year-old rookie. He's struck out 1,746 batters, including 301 (!) last year. He's won three NL Cy Young Awards over the past five seasons.

And, last but not least, the greatest cinematic testament to the brilliance of Clayton Kershaw: him taking ping pong more seriously than anyone has ever taken ping pong.

Happy birthday, Clayton.
