Watch Coco Crisp go over the wall to rob Ji-Man Choi of a third HR
Ji-Man Choi already had three homers on the night, and Coco Crisp was determined to keep it that way.
The A’s left fielder went up and over the outfield wall to rob the Angels' slugger of yet another long ball in the fifth inning Thursday. In fact, Crisp stopped just short of ending up in the stands.
"I went back and I knew my distance from the wall,'' Crisp said, per MLB.com. "This is an outfield that is a good one, the angles make it a lot easier than most ballparks to play. It's nice when you have short walls out there to give you the opportunity to make plays like that.''
Judging from Choi’s reaction – he seemingly was in a home run trot as Crisp jogged back toward the dugout – he was the most surprised player on the field.
And Crisp didn’t stop there. He added an RBI double to give the A’s a 6-5 lead in a game they eventually won 8-6 in 10 innings.
