“Hot dog, that Brandon Crawford sure can play some ball,” is a phrase (or at least a variant of it) that has come out of my mouth, and probably many mouths of San Francisco Giants fans, more than once this season.
And for good reason too. Crawford has been outstanding for the San Francisco Giants this year. We all know how gifted he is with the glove, and this year he’s shown us that his bat isn’t just a fluke.
Crawford made his debut in 2011 and promptly introduced himself to us in Will Clark fashion by hitting a grand slam in his first at-bat.
