The Cleveland Indians entered September with a solid outfield unit, but the impending postseason absence of Abraham Almonte meant another player was needed. The Indians found that player in Coco Crisp.
Crisp returned to Cleveland, where his career started back in 2002, after being acquired from the Oakland Athletics. He left Cleveland for the bright lights of Boston in 2005, but he was welcomed back as a strong veteran presence to help the team in September and in the postseason.
The veteran’s best moments during his short tenure back in Cleveland came in the postseason in the form of home runs.
