Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw can party with the newly relocated Los Angeles Rams whenever he wants after gifting 200 bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label scotch whisky.

Each bottle of whisky, which retails for $230, was custom-engraved with the message “WELCOME HOME! LA ALL DAY!”

"I know our loyal LA fan base has been waiting for this moment for a long time," Kershaw said (via ABC7.com). “To celebrate their return and welcome the Rams back to our city, it seemed fitting to send the team limited edition bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue Label: Year of the Ram. I look forward to watching them play for many seasons to come. Here's to a new beginning, great success and a winning season!"

Considering the volume of the gift, each player and coach got to take home a bottle. It’s safe to say this was a better “welcome to the neighborhood” gift than a dry loaf of fruit cake.
