José Alberto "Coco" Laboy (born 3 July 1940) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball third baseman who played five seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). He was signed by the San Francisco Giants as an amateur free agent in 1959 but remained mired in the minor leagues, playing for a while in North Carolina with the Raleigh Cardinals, until the 1969 expansion of major league baseball, which added two teams to both leagues. The expansion Montreal Expos drafted Laboy from the St. Louis Cardinals organization.
