For The Cole's And The Crawford's The Game On The Diamond Is A Family Affair

For some families the game on the diamond is a family affair.

For the Cole’s as well as well as the Crawford’s that is exactly what it is as Gerrit Cole who is a right -hander is married to Amy Crawford Cole who is the younger sister of San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford who during the 2019 season for San Francisco drove in 58 runs, 114 hits , 11 home runs and 59 runs batted in. “according to https://www.mlb.com/player/brandon-crawford-543063

While Gerrit Cole who is a right hander has some stats of his own that he produced on the mound last season with Houston as he had a record of 20-5 with a 2.50 earn run average. “according to https://www.mlb.com/player/gerrit-cole-543037

After the season was over Gerrit Cole had a decision to make. Where was he going to take his talents? Was he going to go to the West Coast where his brother in law was playing where he had offers from the Los Angeles Angels and the Los Angeles Dodgers or was he taking his talents to the East Coast?

Turns out he was going to take his talents to the East Coast to play for the team he grew up rooting for nine years $324 million dollar deal.

If the season does begin the Cole’s and the Crawford’s will be keeping their eyes on the stats of an elite pitcher as well as an elite shortstop though they will be on different coast.
