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. Manuel still works as a senior adviser for the Phillies and he’s already scouted the team’s Single-A affiliate in Clearwater. He’s heading to Double-A Reading next week and plans to visit the MLB-leading Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum, File)
