Casey Todd Candaele (born January 12, 1961) is an American former utility player and professional baseball coach. His mother, Helen Callaghan St. Aubin and her sister, Marge Callaghan, played for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which was depicted in the movie A League of Their Own. Candaele and his mother represent the only mother/son combination to have both played professional baseball.[1][2]
The Seattle Mariners hired Candaele as their first base coach during the 2015–16 offseason.[3] He worked with them until the end of the 2017 season. In January 2018, the Toronto Blue Jays hired Candaele to manage the Advanced-A Dunedin Blue Jays.[4] Candaele managed the Blue Jays' top affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, before becoming the interim major league bench coach in 2022.
