The photo of Al Crawford is another one which came from the
www.sportslot.com website in 2011.
Al Crawford was on the Reds' spring roster every year for four years in a row, 1969-1972. Whenever I come across a player who had been on a spring roster for four or five years, and not made the major leagues, it makes me wonder what was in the GM's mind to keep using a roster slot for the guy over and over like that, and yet not give him a shot at playing in the bigs. It had to be very frustrating for the player.
