"200 with 14 home runs in 297 games, but held the distinction of homering off of future Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax, Ferguson Jenkins, and Gaylord Perry, something he surely did not let any of them forget."

2024
"A full-time member of the Cubs rotation by the following year, he tantalized Cubs fans with near no-hitters a couple of times, including a memorable matchup with Sandy Koufax in late 1966, before throwing one in 1969 against the Braves at Wrigley Field and another in Cincinnati in 1971."

2023
"That would have made him a slightly better version of Sandy Koufax, the Hall of Fame pitcher for the Dodgers who retired after his age 30 season having posted 54."

2022
"He was their conscience, their poet laureate, capturing their beauty and chronicling their glory from Jackie Robinson to Sandy Koufax, Kirk Gibson to Clayton Kershaw."

2016
"Clayton Kershaw put his name up there above Sandy Koufax with his fifth consecutive start of at least 10 strikeouts and no more than one walk, an MLB record."

2015
"According to ESPN Stats & Info, Kershaw is only the second Dodger pitcher to hit 300, with Sandy Koufax being the other."

2014
"16, Anthony Castrovince of Sports on Earth ranked Kershaw with the 10 previous pitchers to win an MVP award, putting his 2014 performance third behind Gibson in '68 and Sandy Koufax in 1963: The first is that both his ERA and his FIP are under 2."
