Brandon Crawford is making history as he takes on the role of third baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals against the Giants at Rickwood Field in Alabama. This game marks a first for Crawford, who has played shortstop for 14 years in Major League Baseball (MLB). The game is significant as it honors the Negro Leagues, with the Giants and Cardinals meeting on this historic baseball ground.
Crawford expressed excitement about facing his old team during a pregame interview, but also admitted to feeling nerves about playing third base. His counterpart Nick Ahmed will play shortstop for the Giants in this matchup. Despite his struggles with batting this season, with a .190/.292/.310 stat line so far, Crawford is embracing the challenge of starting at third base. His primary position has been shortstop throughout his career, but he is determined to make the most of this opportunity.
The game at Rickwood Field symbolizes the rich history of baseball and pays tribute to Giants legend Willie Mays, who began his professional career with the Birmingham Black Barons at Rickwood. Mays passed away recently at the age of 93 and will be honored during this special game. Keaton Winn will pitch for San Francisco while Andre Pallante starts for St. Louis in what promises to be an exciting matchup between two storied teams.
