Former Stanford Quarterback Evan Crower Signs With Philadelphia Phillies

Evan Crower becomes the latest Stanford football player to try their hand at pro baseball

It feels like we're heard this before. Oh wait, we have.

Former Stanford quarterback Evan Crower contributed to the school's rich history of two-sport athletes, inking a minor-league deal with the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. Crower adds to the list of Stanford football players to try their hand at the pro game in recent history, one that includes former running back Tyler Gaffney and safety Zach Hoffpauir.

After heading to Palm Springs' California Winter League (CWL) to work out with the team earlier in the week, Crower signed the deal after his first day of try-outs, the quickest anyone in the league has agreed to a deal.
