Shortstop Brandon Crawford announced he was retiring from baseball Wednesday after a 14-year career in which he made three All-Star teams and won two World Series championships with the San Francisco Giants.
\"Baseball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and for the rest of my life I will be thankful for the opportunities and experiences it has given me,\" Crawford wrote in an Instagram post. \"Time is precious. I\'m incredibly grateful for all the years I spent playing the game I love, but now it is time for me to spend it with the people who I\'m most thankful for.\"
