Baseball has played a major role in Charlie Manuel's recovery from a stroke
Charlie Manuel is back to sharing his knowledge of the game with anyone who wants to learn from a World Series champion
Talkin’ baseball got Charlie Manuel talking again.
Nine months after suffering a stroke, the 80-year-old hitting guru is back to sharing his knowledge of the game with anyone who wants to learn from a World Series champion.
“When I was cooped up in the hospital, it was tough to take,” Manuel told The Associated Press. “It seemed like a long time before I really learned to walk again, and when I started doing things, I realized that when I talk about baseball, I feel more comfortable.”
The former Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Indians manager recently became an investor in Perfect Game, a youth and high school baseball sports platform. Manuel, who lives in Florida, has already spent a couple weekends at their local tournaments and plans to attend as many youth games as he can.
