Ryan Howard - Final Chachi Cards & Complete Chachi Checklist

2017 Chachi Departures #19

2017 Chachi Fan Favorites #13

I posted a mid-season, updated listing of Phillies coming and goings a few days ago, and I wanted to dedicate an entire post to Ryan Howard.  Howard signed with the Braves organization on April 6th and reported to extended spring training.  He eventually reported to their Triple-A team in Gwinnett where he hit .184 (7 for 38) with a home run and five RBIs.  On May 8th, the Braves released him, seemingly ending his playing career.

I created two final Chachi cards for Howard.  One is the card he would have had if he'd returned to the Phillies, but updated to reflect his new (and strange) team, the Braves.  The other is a Fan Favorites card featuring Howard in the actual blue jersey of one of the Phillies' biggest rivals over the years.

I started the Chachi sets in 2005, which coincided with Howard's first full year in the Majors.  I haven't officially confirmed this, but I would have to think that Howard has appeared on more Chachi cards than any other player.  Each of his Chachi cards is linked below.
