Following a forgetful age-37 campaign with the St. Louis Cardinals, shortstop Brandon Crawford has officially announced his retirement after 14 MLB seasons.
Crawford took to Instagram to break the news and share a heartfelt message:
“I’m incredibly grateful for all the years I spent playing the game I love,” Crawford stated. “… but now it is time for me to spend it with the people I’m most thankful for.”
After 13 years with the San Francisco Giants, Crawford spent his final season as a pro with the Cardinals. So, he dedicated separate farewell messages to both clubs. But as you can see by the disparity in length, the now-ex-infielder fondly remembers his stint in the Bay Area compared to St. Louis.
