Since joining the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2006, Kemp has gone on to set crazy records, impressing his peers and gaining legions of fans in the process.

Matt Kemp's breakout season came in with the Dodgers in 2008 when he took over in center after veteran Andruw Jones was injured. That year, the Dodgers won the NL West and swept Chicago to advance to the NL Championship Series.

He became the first player to finish in the top two in both home runs and steals since Hank Aaron in 1963. He has been named to two All-Star teams and has won two Gold Glove Awards (2009 and 2011) and two Silver Slugger Awards (2009 and 2011).
