The beloved Charlie Manuel’s journey of recovery.

I’m proud that these fun, funny & dedicated therapists @LKLDRegional Bannasch Institute were my coaches! They got me up and moving everyday. I’m happy to get home but I’ll miss all my new friends. I appreciate and thank all the HCWs here who helped w/my stroke recovery❤️❤️❤️💪🏻 pic.twitter.com/2yg5BUMHnS

Ran into Cholly and Missy once while they were picking out fabric for their Florida home in one of the 4th St. fabric stores. As always, Cholly was a real gent.

But at least the Phillies are still alive and one game away from the World Series:

The Phillies dominated the Diamondbacks with pitching, offense, defense. They are coming home up 3 games to 2 with a chance to clinch another trip to the World Series tomorrow night https://t.co/Nzw4o4D7X1

Yeah, we shut out the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of the playoffs, 3-0. What a game! Can’t wait to see them tonight.

My beloved Phillies beat the Marlins in two games to move on to the next round of the playoffs, this time against the Braves. After the win, the fans didn’t go home! They hung around for another hour, and I had trouble sleeping last night. “Eleven more, Topper!”

The @NLBMuseumKC joins the baseball world in mourning the passing of the great Brooks Robinson. I loved watching him play. He was a Hall of Famer on-and-off the field. We extend our condolences to the Robinson family, the @Orioles organization & his legion of fans! RIP!🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/aW68AruUfa

But I do!

Breaking: Bryce Harper has been cleared to play by the Phillies just 159 days after Tommy John surgery, sources tell @JeffPassan.

He was initially expected to return in July and is now expected to be in the lineup starting at designated hitter Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/s9xxLpiJLa
