Jennings Did Not Bench Crawford Over Spite Says Beasley
Norman Beasley of the Detroit Journey argues Jennings benched Sam Crawford not from spite but to pursue a winning combination. Crawford missed most of the season due to illness and back trouble. Jennings argues Crawford’s age and Achilles tendon issues limit his speed and fielding, leading Heilmann’s placement in right field and a search for a capable substitute. Crawford itself resists a return to first base due to lack of practice.
