Mike Trout and Coco Crisp exchange home run robbing catches (VIDEO)

In the first inning of Wednesday's A's-Angels game, Mike Trout robbed Yoenis Cespedes of a home run with a beautifully timed leap over the center field wall at Angels Stadium.

Coco Crisp then pays back his teammate by denying Josh Hamilton of a solo shot in the next inning with an effortless catch of his own — keeping the score tied at 0-0.

Here's both catches to compare:

Both home run thefts are pretty impressive, so I guess you could call it a push.

Angels hire Josh Hamilton's 'accountability partner' from Rangers

The Los Angeles Angels are into Josh Hamilton for five years and $125 million and, although team owner Arte Moreno said there was "no special language" in the outfielder's contract citing consequences for a potential drug or alcohol relapse, the team will take extra steps to keep the admitted addict on the straight and narrow.

One of the first moves is hiring Hamilton's accountability partner, Shayne Kelley, away from the Texas Rangers.  The new hire will technically serve as a major league staff assistant for the Angels, but Kelley's primary function will be to act as conscience for the 31-year-old Hamilton at home and on the road and keep him from making bad decisions that could wreck his career.

Besides regular check-ins and being tested three times a week for substances that could derail his professional career, Hamilton will be under the watchful eye of Kelley.

Hamilton has had two known relapses during his stint with the Rangers — the latest happened in February 2012.

The powerful slugger knows he is only as strong as his faith. Hamilton has already put his trust in the hands of God, the Angels team and the woman who has seen his ups and downs over the past ten years —  his wife, Katie.

The Angels are obviously hoping to get five seasons of solid production from their million dollar signee but, more importantly, want to see Hamilton — who said he had "literally tried every drug on the street" — keep putting another day between him and whatever demons he left behind.

Sometimes the most important aspects of a contract aren't put in writing.

Group secures Josh Hamilton film rights

Josh Hamilton may still be a free agent, but he did join one team this week.

Relativity Media has secured the rights to the feature film about the Texas Rangers outfielder's life — which will be directed and written by Casey Affleck, according to deadline.com.

The report says that Relativity Media — producers of films like "Shark Night 3D" and "HOP" — also has the rights to Hamilton's biography, "Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back," which the slugger co-authored with Tim McKeown.

The film will be based on the Tampa Bay Rays' former overall #1 draft pick's career which has been a combination of brilliance on the diamond tainted with alcohol and drug addiction off the field. The film will be tinged with the 31-year-old Hamilton's strong Christian faith and love of his wife, Katie.

After wowing fans with his performance in the Home Run Derby at the All-star game at Yankee Stadium in 2008, Hamilton went on to become the American League MVP in 2010 and helped the Rangers make consecutive World Series in 2010 and 2011.

Affleck — an Academy Award nominee and brother of Red Sox fanatic Ben— will helm the flick with Hamilton and his wife co-producing with business manager Steve Reed.  The couple said they would be "an integral part of the film's creative direction and accuracy as the project develops."

It seems like Hamilton's baseball life and religious convictions would attract little interest outside of Texas unless it's a modern version of "The Natural" mixed with a little "North Dallas Forty." But a boring sounding movie premise about computers and baseball did work out pretty well for "Moneyball," didn't it?

One suggestion for casting — Will Ferrell.  Too obvious?

Texas Rangers show off their big guns with Navy Seals

You can't deny the fact that the Texas Rangers pack some serious firepower and, if their lineup card doesn't get major league pitchers shaking in their cleats, maybe this photo will do the trick.

While the Rangers were were in San Diego to face the Padres, the team took time off to visit a Navy Seals training facility and show off some even bigger guns on Tuesday afternoon.

The players got to meet military personnel and play around with various assault-rifles, handguns and a mortar launcher.  Leftfielder David Murphy— he's the one with the big grin and even bigger weapon— was the lucky guy holding that bad boy.

After touring the grounds and posing with the arsenal of mayhem, it was Josh Hamilton who provided the big blast at last night's game.  The Rangers centerfielder— after missing four games with an illness— blasted a two-run triple to lead his team, 7-3,  past the Padres.

And no, that wasn't Tiger Woods spotted out at the training camp going through the obstacle course.

O's fan gives Josh Hamilton's bat to Cal Ripken lookalike's kid

Josh Hamilton let a bat slip through his hands and sail into the stands at Camden Yards during a Texas Rangers- Baltimore Orioles game.  A mini tug-of-war broke out for the prized piece of wood before the bigger fan— who actually snagged the spinning bat— turned it over to a young kid in the same section of seats after yanking from the hands of a woman.

The fan— decked out head-to-toe in O's gear— who won the tug of war scolded the woman on the losing end of the tug and handed the projectile over to the kid a few seats over.

It's no wonder.  The guy sitting next to the kid had a slight resemblance to Oriole's popular legend Cal Ripken and— as anyone in Baltimore knows— what Cal wants, Cal gets— seemingly even Ripken doppelgangers.

Even if the kid wasn't with Cal II, everyone cheered and— amazingly— no one was hurt except for maybe the lady who got the pointed finger in her face.
