To younger A’s fans like myself, Coco Crisp was more than just a fan favorite. He was thefan favorite.
Rollie Fingers. Dennis Eckersley. Mark McGwire. Jose Canseco. Rickey Henderson. All Oakland Athletics legends whose names strike a special chord in the heart of every single A’s fan. These men were all very accomplished, and some are now even enshrined in the Hall of Fame. However, they all have something else in common - I’ve never been able to see any of them play. Not on TV, not in person. As a younger fan, these Oakland greats were all well before my time.
