Between 1983 and 1989, Mizerock appeared in 103 games with the Astros and Braves, compiling a .186 career batting average. He also served as the interim manager for the Royals back in 2002, going 5-8 in his short stint between Tony Muser's departure and Tony Pena's hiring.

In 2014, Mizerock will be the lucky recipient of a Chachi card. And speaking of the 2014 Chachi set . . . I'm still trying to figure out how to portray the Phillies coaches using the 1988 Topps design. There were no multi-player cards within the 1988 Topps set, so I'm going to have to get creative similar to what I had to do a few years ago. Suggestions and tips are welcome!

Maybe do it like a "Record Breaker" card, and just have head shots against a red background.
...That's just my initial idea, I'll keep the problem in the back of my mind...
I think it would be good to do it like the leaders card with the "fog" surrounding either the head shots or a group photo if you find one.
Of course you could just make a coach card that fills in the name triangle like a manager's card, but with the word coach instead. Now that I think about it, that is probably the best way and it gives you a chance to give each coach their own card.
Here's another idea: Base the coaches card on the All Star cards... Frame each head shot in a colored diamond with the coach's name underneath. You could put multiple coaches on a card that way, although if it were me, I think I'd make it a horizontal card with 2 coaches each, and make it sort of like you took 2 All Star cards, put them side-to-side and merged them together. You could also change the colors involved to match the green & purple of the regular Phillies cards. I think it's an idea worth playing with, anyway.
As long as I'm brainstorming, I think it'd be fun to have a custom or two based on the glossy "All-Star" and "Rookie" cards that were rack pack inserts. Also, maybe the "Super Star" cards that they used as backing for the Topps Stickers.
...I'll have to remember this stuff; if you don't use these ideas, I might just do them myself...
I was going to suggest the all-star card design. So, instead, I'll just agree with shlabotnikreport. Wonder how many can fit nicely on one card.
These are all awesome suggestions. I'm going to play around with a few ideas and I should be ready to go by April!
