Phillies add Mickey Morandini to coaching staff

The second baseman from the 1993 squad is coming aboard as the team's new first base coach.

It seems as though we cannot escape the 1993 Philadelphia Phillies.

One of the Macho Row crew will be returning to the team, this time their once-mulleted second baseman Mickey Morandini, as the team's first base coach.

Morandini, now 49 years old, was a member of the organizations' player development system, managed the Phils' Single-A team and coached in Reading and Lehigh Valley. In addition to coaching first base, he'll also be in charge of the team's baserunning, something the Kansas City Royals reminded the world can be a large part of winning a title.
