Childhood:

His mother was a former boxer called Pamela Crisp, she was a champion sprinter. He was playing for Senior Division RBI World Series in the year 1995.

The cereal box hero:

Coco Crisp started to be called Coco from his sisters and a brother since he looked like the character who was on the cereal box called Cocoa Krispies. This nickname was not used for a long period but when he begun to play for AA baseball, he filled the form mentioning Coco as the nickname and the teammates decided to put it on the scoreboard in the game since they thought it was funny. After a week, he got traded to a new team but this nickname continued to be used and he became to be known as Coco Crisp since then. Afterwards, he started to use the name officially in 2013.

The start of Coco's career:

Coco Crisp played for St Louis Cardinals in the Minor League career and he was chosen at the seventh round for 1999 MLB draft. While in the minor league, he was playing with Cardinals Affiliates and he played in four leagues from 1999 until 2001. He started the 2002 season by joining New Haven Ravens. Afterwards, he was doubling as Eastern League affiliate for Cardinals. Coco Crisp joined Cleveland Indians as a trade for their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Finley">Chuck Finley</a>.

Major league career:

Crisp began his major league career in Cleveland Way back in 2002. From there, he moved on to the Red Sox, made a stop at the Royals then he moved to Oakland, he has been there since 2010.

Coco Crisp started to play for Cleveland Indians in the center field in 2002. He was replacing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Lawton">Matt Lawton</a> who suffered injury. In the few seasons that followed, Crisp was able to establish the reputation when he came to be known as the best fielder and also a speedy baserunner. Even after such success, he had to fight to get the spot every spring. He started to play at the left field when there was an emergency and he had to replace <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_Sizemore">Grady Sizemore</a> who is an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grady_Sizemore">outfielder</a>. In the final two seasons with the Indians, he showed his talent in offensive capacity.

Coco Crisp is married and his wife is called Maria Crisp. However, more information about her is not available. Crisp who stands at 5 feet and 10 inches, 185 LB has a net worth of 24$ million. He is known for his range in center field, but his weakness is his arms; since he had a lot of shoulder surgeries which resulted in awful throwing if he did. He was considered a stealer and aggressive runner.

He holds the record for most consecutive stolen bases without being caught. Crisp has been hit only five times in his career that reached 15 years till now. He was an <a href="/biography/coco-crisp">outfielder</a> for the Indians since he arrived from Oakland. Although $13 million is too much to ask for him to stay for another season, but he is likely to do better as he has some solid contacts in the Major league.

He is supposed to reach 550 appearances or 130 games to be able to ask for this 13$ million contract. Though he is definitely not playing at his career-best levels, his defensive match statistics show that he can no longer be an option in center, but defensive runs credited him with average glovework in left this season.

As has long been the case, the organization has made a surprising mix of players in the outfield. one wonders whether Martinez would lose his spot if Crisp is brought in. They tried so hard to cover for the loss of Brantley, but that was a hell of a task, however, Crisp will deepen the mix and provide another bat in the postseason.

Their main consideration is to give veterans some time on the pitch while letting younger players play as well. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Hynes">Hynes</a> has been a popular target at times, but still has only limited time in the majors, he didn’t impress enough to be called-up by the Blue Jays or the Indians.

The swap:

In total, the Indians will pay around $500K of the price for Crisp as some sources say. Cleveland will receive $1,673,497 in cash from Oakland in the deal. Crisp has $2 million remaining in his contract, so he will not get the bulk unless he finishes what is left in his contract or otherwise deducted.

It isn’t clear who will pay the $750K buyout of this $13 million option. The Indians and Athletics have announced a deal that sends <a href="/biography/coco-crisp">veteran</a> Coco Crisp to Cleveland in exchange for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colt_Hynes">Colt Hynes</a>. It is shown that a deal was nearing and that Crisp had waived his no-trade fees, it is reported that the swap is finalized.

The mansion:

Pro athletes are known to have quite the salary over recent decades, but sometimes you need to see to be sure. Coco Crisp, earned more than $60 million over his 15 years in the game. He is currently listing his Rancho Mirage estate for almost $10 million. The mansion is 17,900-square-foot, he bought it for $7 million, it has five-bedrooms, an elevator, a swimming pool with built-in dining table and a tennis court, once you see the photos of the house, and you will momentarily want to jump in the pool or roll on the grass.
