"ALS Awareness Takes Center Stage in Baseball Community"
TL;DR Summary
San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford will be presented with the 2023 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award in a pregame ceremony on Lou Gehrig Day. Crawford has organized an annual charity golf event since 2019, with 100% of proceeds going to ALS research. The fundraising began in part because one of Crawford’s family friends, former A’s outfielder Stephen Piscotty, lost his mother to the neurodegenerative disease. The honor is maintained at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
