Los Angeles Rams fans have happily accepted Stafford into their city, and that may not be simply because of his football talents. Stafford has deep Texas roots, which might not make sense as to why Angelenos have a special bond with their quarterback. As it turns out, Stafford has a relationship with one of the city's most beloved baseball players (via the Dallas News).
Both Stafford and Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw grew up in the same Texas suburb and attended the same high school. These two played sports together throughout their entire childhood, finding themselves on the same youth soccer, football, baseball, and basketball teams together (via Bleacher Report).
The athletes' moms have remained close over the years. Stafford's mother, Margaret, gushed, "Marianne [Kershaw] and I got together for dinner several months ago, and we just started giggling," Margaret Stafford says. "Who'd have thought we'd have these famous boys when we were sitting at the laundromat, washing uniforms?"
