Giants SS Crawford on Panik, who retired at age 31: ‘A great teammate. Locker neighbor … Became a really good friend.’
SAN FRANCISCO — The question put Brandon Crawford in an awkward position. Was Joe Panik his favorite double-play partner he’s teamed up with up the middle?
It has been eight years since the precocious prospect broke into the big leagues in June 2014, eventually playing a pivotal role during the Giants’ ride to their third World Series title. Yet, once the news broke Thursday evening, Panik received such an outpouring of support from Giants fans that his name trended on Twitter.
Crawford didn’t spend much time soaking in the highlights — “I was there for all of them,” he said with a grin — but one play kept coming across his timeline. You can probably guess which one: the flip. “That was a fun one,” Crawford said. “I think it just got a force out in the middle of a random game in the regular season, but it was still a cool play by him.”
