Coco Crisp robs Josh Hamilton of home run; fireworks accidentally go off (Video)
Josh Hamilton has not hit many home runs this season. Much of that has to do with the fact that he has been injured, but Coco Crisp is also partially responsible. Hamilton made a bid for his fourth homer of the year on Wednesday when the Oakland A’s center fielder robbed him.
The best part? Whoever was in charge of setting the fireworks off for the Los Angeles Angels cost the team a little money. He or she was too quick with the trigger, and the fireworks that are typically reserved for home runs were set off after Crisp made the fantastic catch. Coco even gave a finger wag as the ballpark filled with smoke.

Better make sure the ball actually lands over the wall next time.
