Box score
Ex-Rattler for Boston:
David Ortiz ('96): 1-for-5, HR, 3RBI
Highlighted Midwest League Alum:
Coco Crisp (Peoria, 2000):
Crisp drove in the tying run for the Red Sox in the bottom of the eighth inning last night. He was a 7th round pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1999 draft and joined the Chiefs on August 2, 2000 for a game against the Dayton Dragons.
He was known as Covelli Crisp at the time of his first two games against the Rattlers on August 5th and 6th at Vonachen Stadium. He batted ninth and second and went hitless in both games. Then, on August 7 Crisp went into the lead-off spot and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-1 Peoria win. He was the lead-off batter in the game on August 8 and was 1-for-4 with a walk.
To wrap up the 2000 regular season, the Chiefs were in Grand Chute. He went hitless in the first two games of the series, but went 2-for-4 in the third game. Crisp doubled in a run and scored in the top of the ninth in a 4-1 Chief win. He did not play in the final game of the 2000 season.
Crisp hit .276 with 0 homers and 7 RBI with 7 stolen bases in 27 games with the Chiefs.
The Cardinals traded him to Cleveland as the player to be named later for Chuck Finley in 2002. The Indians sent him to Boston in 2006.
