Charlie Manuel has lots of stories. Like the one about meeting Tiger Woods when the golfer was just starting his career. Manuel was at a country club and Woods was off to the side, practicing a shot where his ball would fly over trees, around a slight curve and onto the green. Manuel watched him practice this one shot for a little over half an hour.
“Then I left for almost two hours. When I came back, Tiger was still there, practicing that same shot – a shot most players wouldn’t even attempt. He was hitting the ball over and over and over.” This is where Manuel leans in to tell the moral of the story: “Some players make themselves masters of their game.”
For Charlie Manuel, managing a team to the World Series two years in a row isn’t just about hitting averages and pitching speed. It’s about mastering the game. Better yet, it’s about inspiring your players to master their game.

“I bring energy and life to players,” says Manuel, who lives in SJ with his fiancé

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Last September, former Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel suffered a stroke while undergoing a medical procedure at a hospital in Florida. He wasn't able to talk or walk afterward and was left partially paralyzed.
Months later and after a difficult journey, Manuel is starting to look and sound like himself again.
"Baseball has really been the saving grace for this," Manuel's wife Melissa "Missy" Martin said. "It really has been. I think it's very marked how different his demeanor and his attitude [was] when he was not able to come to the ballpark vs. once he can be at the ballpark, be around the guys, be around the game. It's what he needs emotionally, and probably now more than ever, he needs it."
The former Phillies skipper recently sat down with CBS Philadelphia's Pat Gallen in his first TV interview since his stroke. Manuel discussed his recovery and told a story about why former Phillies second baseman Chase Utley told him he "used to
