    Manuel manages to join quirky Phillies company - The Delaware County ... http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/09/15/sports/doc4aaf58bdf2a5... 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).
