Maria Crisp
Maria Crisp, the MLB Wag and beautiful wife of Coco Crisp, MLB outfielder for the Cleveland Indians. He also played with the Boston Red Sox, the Kansas City Royals and the Oakland Athletics. Crisp was selected by the Cardinals in 1999, however never played in St. Louis.
Maria’s hubby got his nickname Coco because his sister Sheileah Crisp( a figure skater married to Cincinatti Reds player Brandon Phillips) teased him that he looked like one of the character from the Cocoa Krispies cereal box. At first he didn’t become attached to his nickname. But grew warmer after he started playing AA baseball and listed Coco as his nickname on the questionnaire given to the players so they could get to know one another.
His teammates liked the nickname, and began to use the name on the scoreboard. The same name stuck with him after he was traded to another team, that is the name he has been using thus far and that he legally changed into on March 5, 2013.

Coco was traded to the Oakland Athletics after the 2009 season and subsequently traded with cash considerations to the Cleveland Indians.
Given these facts about the incredible Coco Crisp, can we go ahead and tell you a few things about his pretty wife?
