Charlie Manuel has become part of their group. When the Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies at the end of July, Manuel became the fourth manager in Phillies history to lead the club to 500 wins. In so doing, Manuel joined Gene Mauch (646 wins), Harry Wright (636), and Danny Ozark (594) as Phillies skippers who have won 500 or more games. Manuel achieved his lofty status faster than the other three. He did it midway through his sixth season, just 16 days before Ozark won his 500th. Mauch, the Phillies' skipper from 1960-68, reached the milestone in his seventh season, while Wright (1884-93), managing in seasons when the schedules were considerably shorter, took nine years to get there. Now 66 and the oldest manager in team history, Manuel has led the Phillies to levels none of the other three ever did. His Phillies have gone to the World Series twice, and he is the only manager whose teams have posted 85 or more wins five straight years.

  • Manuel Manages to Join Quir
    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).

  • Texas Sports Hall of Fame
    Texas Sports Hall of Fame The Texas Sports Hall of Fame was organized in 1951 by the Texas Sports Writers Association. Each year the honorees are inducted into the Hall of Fame at a gala dinner. (The second such fete in 1952 was headlined by, “That filmland athlete, Ronald Reagan, and his actress wife, Nancy Davis,” The Dallas Morning News, June 9, 1952.) The hall was originally in Grand Prairie in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The Hall of Fame was closed in 1986 for financial reasons, but in 1991 it was reopened in Waco. In addition to memorabilia, the new location also houses archives. Under the current selection process, dues-paying members of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame can nominate any number of individuals. (Anyone can become a member.) The selection committee, chaired by Dave Campbell, founder of Texas Football Magazine, reviews all nominees and creates the “Official Voting Membership” ballot. Ballots are then mailed to the voting membership, former Texas Sports Hall of Fame inductees and the media selection committee. The results of the balloting are announced in the fall with the induction banquet following in the winter. The hall of fame website is at www.tshof.org.
