As of the end of the 2011 season, Crowley's 108 career pinch-hits is still the 13th-most all-time, tying him with Denny Walling.

Teammate Jim Palmer called him "a really great pinch hitter who studies pitchers to get himself psyched to hit.

"[1] Crowley's contract was sold by the Orioles to the Texas Rangers at the Winter Meetings on December 6, 1973.

[2] He never appeared in a regular-season contest with the Rangers, as he was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds during spring training on March 19, 1974.

In 13 post-season games, all in a pinch-hitting role (3 WS, 2 ALCS, 1 NLCS), he hit .273 (3-for-11) with 3 RBI.
