Is this real?

I was reading a baseball story that said "...he struck out Coco Crisp to end the inning...", and I thought to myself that there surely can't actually be a baseball player named Coco Crisp, can there? But yes, it turns out there is. (If you don't know why I find that so amusing, there was a popular cereal when I was growing up called Cocoa Krispies.) That has to be one of the best sports names to come along since NASCAR driver Dick Trickle. See, this is the kind of stuff you miss when you only get Eurosport in German instead of ESPN...
