Serving Delaware County, PA Sports Published: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 No comments posted. | Email to a friend | Print version | ShareThis | RSS Feeds By Rich Westcott, Special to the Times Click to enlarge It doesn’t take a math whiz to figure out where Charlie Manuel ranks on the all-time list of Phillies managers. The numbers are easily understandable. They show that Manuel has joined the Little General, the Father of Baseball, and the guy who claimed that “even Napoleon had his Watergate,” as the most successful managers in Phillies history. When he won his 432nd game recently, Manuel moved into fourth place on the team’s all-time victories list for managers, trailing only Gene Mauch (646), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594). Manuel, in his fifth season, reached 432 faster than the other three. By moving past Jim Fregosi, Manuel, who at 65 is the oldest man to ever manage the Phillies, put himself in line for some other milestones. He could become the team’s first manager to win 85 or more games five years 1 of 5 9/15/2009 3:56 PM Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... in a row. Most likely, he’ll also become only the second manager in club history to win three straight division titles, joining Ozark (1976-78), who is the only one to win 100 or more regular-season games (and did so in back-to-back seasons).

  • Senators Win Title, 4–3
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From The Great American Sports Page: A Century of Classic Columns (Library of America, 2019), pages 15–21. Originally published in The New York Herald Tribune (October 11, 1924). GRANTLAND RICE Even if Grantland Rice’s name means nothing to you, it’s entirely pos- sible you have heard someone utter something about the four horse- men of a football apocalypse “outlined against a blue-gray October sky.” They are arguably the most famous and certainly the most quoted words in sportswriting history. Rice (1880–1954) wrote them as he piled on adjectives and imagery to describe Notre Dame’s backfield running amok against poor Army in 1924. The unofficial leader of the press box’s Gee-Whiz contingent, he seemed to see every event he covered as the equivalent of the Trojan War. Some contemporaries mocked him and subsequent generations of sportswriters were even harsher. But Rice, the star of the New York Herald Tribune’s sports page and a nationally syndicated columnist during the Roaring Twenties and the Depression, never stopped striving to paint word pictures for audiences in the age before TV. He was best when he took some of the purple out of his prose the way he did in the following story about a once-dominant pitcher recapturing greatness in the ’24 World Series. Rice remained true to his vision of sports until the end. When he died, he did it the only place he could—at his typewriter. HHH Senators Win Title, 4–3 ESTINY, WAITING for the final curtain, stepped from the wings today D and handed the king his crown.
