2021 Chachi #30

I wasn't originally going to include Mike Calitri on a coach's card in this year's Chachi set, but every team publication and the Phillies website considers Calitri to now be a full-fledged coach despite the fact he wasn't issued a uniform number.  I'll admit I'm not quite sure what a Quality Assurance Coach does.

When I created my first Chachi set, back in 2005, the coaching assignments were much more limited - bench, hitting, pitching, 1st base, 3rd base, bullpen, bullpen catcher.  Manager Charlie Manuel and his seven coaches all fit on two cards.  Now with the Phillies nearly doubling that number with 12 coaches, I had to get creative this year and I assume this will be the pattern going forward.  And the Phillies aren't alone in this exercise as most (if not all) teams now employ upwards of 10 or more coaches, some with position names as nebulous as Quality Assurance Coach.
