Great to see Charlie Manuel @CMBaseball41 back here at spring training and smiling after he suffered a stroke. He is doing well. Hall of Famer Pat Gillick is back here in Clearwater as well. ☀️⚾️ pic.twitter.com/hCbMzxcIvX

This is really nice to see. Charlie suffered a stroke in September, which took place during a medical procedure. According to a Phillies statement at the time, the hospital “was able to attend to Charlie immediately and subsequently remove a blood clot.” He then was released from the intensive care unit a few days later and he’s been sharing recovery updates on social media ever since, showing us how he’s progressing through physical therapy.
