Brandon Crawford and the San Francisco Giants are a great match. So great that there's a picture of a 5-year-old Crawford (with good hair, even then) at a Giants game next to a sign asking to keep the team in San Francisco. He's a Bay Area kid who grew up dreaming that he'd play shortstop for the Giants.
And now, the two sides won't be parting ways anytime soon.
The Giants and Crawford agreed to a six-year contract extension Tuesday that will keep the slick-fielding shortstop playing his home games at AT&T Park until 2021, when he'll be 34 years old.
