Manuel's wife, Missy, wanted the news to be put out into the universe so that he could feel the positive energy from the City of Brotherly Love.
Fortunately, Manuel was undergoing a medical procedure in Florida when he suffered the stroke. Doctors discovered it immediately, dissolved the blood clot, and are hopeful they found it before it could cause major damage.
Hours after the devastating news, former Phillies star and manager Larry Bowa sat down with Action News.
