Before throwing her historic shutout at the Little League World Series, Taney Dragons star Mo'ne Davis had already challenged Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw to a pitch-off, which he accepted. Afterwards, she was quoted as saying "I throw my curveball like Clayton Kershaw and my fastball like Mo'ne Davis." Though she noted her favorite player is Phillies star Chase Utley, it was pretty apparent she also looks up to the two-time National League Cy Award winner. So on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, Davis was invited to meet Kershaw and his Dodgers teammates, including Yasiel Puig. She even got to experience life from Kershaw's perspective, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch from his office on every fifth day. Not surprisingly, Davis was greeted warmly by Dodgers' fans, just as she's been everywhere she's gone after Williamsport. That includes a trip to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, where she met Utley, and a stop in Minnesota over the weekend to take in a WNBA conference finals game. Even less surprising, Davis delivered a strike right over the heart of the plate to catcher Drew Butera. However, the coolest scene from Davis' trip to Dodgertown came well...
