We agree that coaches would be nice addition. Unfortunately, however, coaches are not listed in the Retrosheet data upon which we rely to get our basic info.

What about the coaches on 1st and 3rd bases on that historic day? ( or any other day of the season) They were to ones actively coaching the game... the games did not pause to check with the manager in the dugout.... then conclude the play.
And they got ripped if they screwed up.
Seems like an oversight NOT to list them to me.
Thanks ...DBW
