Coop was one of my favorite players as a kid. He could flat out rake, and he was a hell of a defensive first baseman.
The sad thing is Boston never really played him that much. It took his moving to Milwaukee to become a full time player...at age 27.
He had a great 7 year prime. Between 1977 and 1983, his 162 game averages: .316 AVG, 99 runs, 206 hits, 40 doubles, 26 HR, 109 RBI. .858 OPS.
