Here’s birthday boy Coco Crisp laying out to rob Chris Iannetta of extra bases in September. It was a rough day Iannetta. In the third inning, he tried to go from first to third on a single to center and this happened. Coco, don’t expect a card from this guy either.
Coco Crisp robs Prince Fielder of a home run in Game 3 of this year’s ALDS. I don’t think Coco will be getting a birthday card from Fielder this year.
TRIGGER WARNING: JETER. For some reason, MLB makes you sit through a replay of the Jeter flip before watching this video. Bud Selig really does hate the A’s.
Coco Crisp made what was probably the second-best catch I’ve seen in person tonight to rob Prince Fielder of extra bases. Best catch I’ve seen in person? Also Coco Crisp, robbing Kendrys Morales of a home run earlier this year.

With his leadoff home run to open the American League Division Series, Covelli “Coco” Crisp has vaulted himself past Ice-T’s wife to become to fifth greatest Coco of all time, behind Coco Chanel, Conan O’Brien, Koko the sign-language gorilla, and his namesake, Cocoa Krispies. The A’s trail Justin Verlander and the Tigers, 2-1, but Crisp has done his part to keep the A’s in it before the series moves to one of the worst of all the time - the O.Co Coliseum.
Coco Crisp robs Kendrys Morales of a home run last night, probably the best defensive play I have ever seen in person. It’s unfortunate that the video cuts off before Crisp reacts to the fans’ ovation by subtly, and with shoulders only, moving it like Bernie.
Details of the Coco Crisp DUI Arrest
Coco Crisp of the A’s was charged with a DUI last week, after he was pulled over and blew a 0.13. The truck containing Crisp’s private security guards also pulled over, and Crisp referred to them as the “Secret Service.” Meaning, they’d take a bullet for Coco Crisp, but they won’t take his car keys.
This just goes to show that, still, no one in the Athletics organization has learned anything from Esteban Loaiza. Crisp joins Adam Kennedy, Clay Mortensen, and even Ozzie Canseco as notable current and former Athletics making dangerous decisions about alcohol and cars. Kennedy got his DUI before ever putting on his Seattle uniform, because they don’t have press conferences or make a team jersey for Adam Kennedy. As Joey says, “I’m not sure teams even sign Adam Kennedy. I think he just shows up when general managers say his name in a mirror three times, like baseball’s Bloody Mary.”
