SAN FRANCISCO -- In this season of giving gratitude, Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford is thankful for his health and his family's. Because he's acutely aware and sympathetic to those who aren't as fortunate.
Hence the significance of the "Craw Claw," a foam object shaped like a baseball glove that was inspired by Crawford and his wife, Jalynne. All proceeds from the 1,400 Claws purchased thus far and those sold in the future benefit Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare, a nonprofit physical rehabilitation center in Pomona, Calif. Casa Colina specializes in caring for catastrophically injured patients.
