Thursday BP: Check out the Crawfords’ SF-themed fish tank

Hello and happy Thursday.

I would like to show you something very enjoyable. A day after San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford hit a splash hit into the bay, his wife, Jalynne, posted pictures of a San Francisco-themed fish tank that the family has at their home. It features a miniature Golden Gate Bridge (thanks for specifying that it’s not a full-size Golden Gate Bridge, Brady, that was really helpful to clear up any ambiguity), as well as baseballs for every homer that Crawford has put in McCovey Cove.

Awesome stuff.

This is a shirt that you should buy

Buster Posey has been vintage Buster Posey lately, so here is a beautiful shirt that will make you think of both Posey and Duane Kuiper. We love those dudes.

You can buy it here.

What time do the Giants play today?

The Giants have a day off today. Enjoy the NFL Draft and the Warriors game. Or don’t.

Either way, have a lovely Thursday.
