As the most dominant pitcher of his generation, Clayton Kershaw strikes out a lot of batters. In 2011, he came up with an idea to incentivize that greatness a little bit more. He began donating $100 for every batter he struck out.

In 2011 alone, he donated over $24,000 after leading the league in strikeouts. He even tossed in his bonus money to the pot that year to bring the total to over $200,000 in 2011 alone. Kershaw continues this practice nearly a decade later.
