MIAMI – For more than four decades, Rennie Stennett watched and waited and scanned box scores.

It happened Monday night at Marlins Park, when Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford went 7 for 8 with five singles, a double and a triple in an 8-7, 14-inning victory.
And although Stennett didn’t realize it at the time, he was watching it unfold.
