Former Phillies catcher Chris Coste is set to become a skipper
As you may remember, 2008 Philadelphia Phillies World Series champion backup catcher Chris Coste had no easy path to the major leagues before finally debuting at age 33 in late-May 2006.
Before even joining a Major League team’s minor-league system, Coste’s first five professional years out of college were spent in the independent league, the latter four of which with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (1996-99).
