Video: Yoenis Cespedes forgets count, strikes out looking

Found August 10, 2013 on Bush League Chronicle:
PLAYERS: Yoenis Cespedes
TEAMS: Oakland Athletics
Your browser does not support iframes.It's bad enough to strike out, but it's even worse to strike out when you lose track of the pitch count.Oakland Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes can certainly testify to this after going down looking in the sixth inning of Friday's game in Toronto.As you can see, home plate umpire Tim McClelland rings up Cespedes on a borderline pitch, however, Cespedes appears to have no clue he has just fell victim to a strikeout, and proceeds to step away from the batter's box to prepare himself for the next pitch.Eventually, Cespedes gets the message that he has been retired, and walks back to the dugout in disbelief.

Via The Sports Post  |  August 09, 2013
American League fans who do not know who A.J. Griffin is should probably do some homework. Griffin is that Oakland A's starter with the flowing golden locks who fits in more on the set of Anchorman than on a baseball field.

Before Friday’s game at Toronto, Josh Reddick, looking for something—anything—to bust himself out of a nightmarish slump in a nightmarish season, decided to change up his hair. Again.
