I'm thinking that he may have had a trial with the Phils during Spring Training one year near the end of his career, but I've found no documentation of this. Does anyone have any info about Sisti, possibly having an unsuccessful Spring Fling with the Phillies in Clearwater, FL one year?

According to Sisti's SABR Bio:

Sibby became an infield-outfield instructor with Phillies minor leaguers for a couple of seasons, coached with the expansion Seattle Pilots in 1969, then shortly thereafter quit the game and returned home to get a “real job” as a truck driver.
