Charlie Manuel On 2008 World Series Win: ‘I Remember Just Like It Was Yesterday’

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Former Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel stopped by the CBS3 studios on Wednesday as the 2008 World Series team will be celebrated at Citizens Bank Park this weekend.

Over two dozen former players and coaches, including Manuel, Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Brad Lidge, Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth, and others, will be at the ballpark on Sunday as the Phillies will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the championship team.

“I remember just like it was yesterday,” Manuel said of the night the Phillies captured their second World Series in franchise history.
