The next 24 hours will be crucial to his recovery,…There is no one quite like Charlie Manuel in Phillies lore.
In 2007, Manuel's third year with the team, he led them to their first playoff appearance since 1993. Just one year later, he and the entire Phillies forever etched their names in Philadelphia history when they won the the franchise's second World Series trophy, their first since 1980.
Manuel was inducted into the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2014, just one year after the team fired him , and has continued to work with them ever since.
